Chess - Online Guide
Dedicated to numerous traditional board games in the chess family.
Naturally enough, this theory is not short of its critics - here is a rebuttal of Sam Sloans piece by Imran Gory in his
The pieces of Shaturanga were represented viz.: Infantry - 4 Pawns which moved as pawns do in Chess Boatmen - A ship which could only move 2 squares diagonally but could jump over intervening pieces Cavalry - A horse which could move like a Knight in Chess Elephant - An elephant which could move like a Rook in Chess Rajah - A human figure which could move like a King in Chess The game started with the four armies in each of the four corners, in a double row, like Chess, the four main pieces behind the four pawns
Other than the fact that it was a game for four players, the other main difference was the use of dice to decide which piece moved each turn
Other changes happened at the same time - the merging of the allied armies into a single army making the game a two player form and duplicating the pieces, both developments which have survived until today
Unfortunately, instead of two Prime Ministers, the set contained two Queens with enhanced powers, making them the most powerful pieces on the board
The pieces are shown on a non-chequered board in a virtually identical pattern to that of today

NOTE: Orthodox Chess pieces are played on ; Xiangqi Chess pieces are played on line intersections which are called
Pieces Each player has the following pieces: 2 Rooks (R) (or chariots) 2 Knights (N) (or horses) 2 Elephants (M) (or bishops or ministers) 2 Mandarins (G) (or advisors or assistants or guards) 1 King (K) (or generals) 2 Cannons (C) 5 Pawns (P) (or soldiers) The Xiangqi array is shown below: Traditional Pieces Westernized Pieces From left to right on the bottom and top rows, you see: a Rook, a Knight, a Minister, a Guard, a King, a Guard, a Minister, a Knight, and a Rook
Pieces at the bottom half are red
Chinese Pieces Movement Westernized Pieces Rooks The Rook moves as an Rook
For example, a red King on e1 and a black King on e9, with no piece on the e-file between them, is an illegal position
In other words, Cannons capture by hoping over a second piece in order to capture a third piece
For example, a Cannon on a1 can take a piece on f1 when exactly one of the b1, c1, d1, or e1 is occupied by a piece of either color
They may never hop over more than one piece in a given move
You cannot check your opponent more than three times in a row with the same piece and same board positions

Chess font where every piece looks the same when turned upside down
Marroquin fonts can be used for figurine notation: the characters for king, queen, rook, bishop, and knight are replaced by chess pieces/figurines
In the Times New Roman font, some characters are changed to those of the chess pieces they represent
This is also useful for chess variants that use checkers pieces

The position of the pieces at the start of a game of chess
Each player begins the game with 16 which can move in defined directions (and in some instances, limited range) and can remove other pieces from the board: each player's pieces comprise 8, 2, 2, 2, 1 and 1
All pieces can remove opponent's pieces by landing on the space they occupy
One player controls the white pieces and the other player controls the black pieces; the player that controls white is always the first player to move
In chess, when a king is directly threatened with capture by one or more of the opponent's pieces, the player is said to be in
When in check, only moves that can evade check, block check, or take the offending piece are permitted
Normally a checkmate will require the cooperation of several pieces, but can also be achieved with one
A, which is a draw, occurs if a player's king is not in check and no legal moves are available; A draw can also occur if there are insufficient pieces left on the board to produce a checkmate (for example, if only the two kings remain)

An ivory chess piece, excavated at a Byzantine palace in what is now southern Albania, is more than 500 years older than any previously discovered
Walrus ivory The chess piece, which is only lightly damaged, was unearthed in the ancient city of Butrint
Professor Richard Hodges said: 'We are wondering if it is the king or queen because it has a little cross but we are not sure.' The chess piece was found in Butrint, Albania The team is now trying to find out exactly which piece it has found
Other pieces were found as far afield as southern Italy
Music and Chess
An annotated bibliography of musical compositions related to chess.
Connections between Music and Chess by John Greschak July 22, 1998 - June 7, 2006 Musical Compositions Related to Chess This is a list of pieces of music that are related in some way to the game of chess
There is no doubt that many of the pieces listed here bear only a distant (or unknown) relationship to chess
For example, it is likely that in some cases the only connection is that the word chess was used in the title of the piece
A recording of this piano piece is available on the album titled L'Oeuvre pour piano (Alpha DB 57)

Star Trek Tri-Dimensional Chess
Provides updated rules and interpretation of original rules. Provides sample game
to illustrate updates and interpretation.
And there it was...the original TOS Tri-D chessboard! There lay the original thing: the four 'attack boards', positioned above and below the main boards; the starting positions of the game pieces; some simple suggestions about gameplay...but no real 'rules.' You could dream about playing, but never really play
Here follows some bits and pieces about the game, to fairly show you that my rules are a worthwhile product
Should we use the revised notation I adopted for the 1992 revision 3.1 Tri-D Chess rules? Better, but that system still falls short of tracking the pieces in a 3D environment
Each square has only one name ('a3' or 'b6' would be examples.) While the squares are defined with lower-case letters, the pieces are listed in upper-case, as 'K' for King, and 'N' for Knight
In the case of a piece which moves to a square which overlaps another, we must add a number indicating which of the many chessboards it landed on
The lowest z-number would be 1, where the chess piece would be moving to an inverted attack board attached under White's main board
The highest z-number would be 7, with a piece moving to an upright attack board attached to Black's main board

Learning Chess
Concise, step-by-step instructions that will teach you to play chess. Explains the
board set-up, the pieces, strategy, special moves, and how to win.
But just so that you can keep it in mind, the piece called the 'king' is the most important piece
You can remember this by using the catchy phrase 'Right is white.' Each player has 6 different types of chess pieces: there are 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, 1 queen, and 1 king
The pawns are the smallest pieces, and you will recognize them because (duh) there are eight of them
The king is the tallest piece and has a cross on top
The last piece is the queen, which is the 2nd tallest piece and has a little crown around the top
Here's a picture: Now, one player will be the white pieces, and one will be the black pieces
That means that you are the white pieces
So you'll take your white pieces and set them up as such: Put your rooks on the two outside corners of the first row
The queen goes on the first row on the same color box as the color of your pieces
So if you are the black pieces, put the queen on the remaining black, in the first row, and put the king on the remaining white square
If you are the white pieces, put the queen on the remaining white square and the king on black
Egalitarian Attacks
A Riddle with Chess pieces. Solving it demands placing on a board combinations
of two or more pieces so that all attack the same amount of free squares.
Knight's Move Tessellations
Dan Thomasson looks at tesselations with numerous unexpected shapes traced out
by knight moves.
By putting each pattern on a separate chess board, closing the open pattern to make a geometric shape, and filling in the pattern with the same color as the line path's color, there now exists four pieces that can be connected into one piece, in such a way that it can be tessellated
The candle lantern is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted piece made in a small mountain town in the heart of Mexico
After making the above animation, I connected the four symmetrical patterns from the 8x8 square to make a 7x7 square tessellation piece
The center square of the 7x7 tessellation piece is actually a gap, as can be seen in the animation
Four copies of the 7x7 square shown above on the right, can be connected together in such a way as to make a single larger tessellation piece
The center white square of the four combined pieces is also a gap
None-the-less, the tiling of the tessellation piece makes for an interesting interlocking chain of red, green, blue, and yellow square links
Now we can replicate the larger tessellation piece, and tile the pieces into a work of art that I call the Four Color Chain-Linked Tessellation (derived from Knight's Tour) : (Click image to see a Four Color Chain-Linked Regular Tessellation) Here are a couple other examples of the chain-linked tessellation

Detailed ornamental sets for play or display.
The chess piecesare strong and meant to be used to play chess with
The black half of each chess setis made to look like bronze, while the white pieces look likeivory
The beautifully detailed chesspieces are hand moulded and finished from the finest ground marbleand resin, to the highest standards possible
The top coat of each chess pieceis a hard wearing polish, so a quick buff over with a good qualityspray polish (first sprayed on to a soft cloth) will keep themlooking their best
However as we actually manufacturethese sets (and have done since 1986), should a piece get damaged, replacement pieces can be made to order (we do know of one thatwas eaten by a dog and for some reason, no one wanted to use itafter that)
The first three are all the same size, the kings being approximately5 inches tall and price is £80 per set, the difference isin the style of the pieces
We don't recommend using a smaller sized board as the chess piecestend to look cramped
Using a board with large enough squares, means that there is room for you to pick each piece up and moveit easily
