Turkish Great Chess, variation VI

By John Ayer

 

Introduction

This game was communicated to John Gollon by the same Savio Cagliostro who invented Cagliostro's Chess. He was unable to supply any prior documentation. John Gollon thought Cagliostro had probably invented it himself. It is, of course, none the worse if that is true. 

Setup

The board is ten squares by ten. Each player's first rank, from left to right, is Rook, Knight, Bishop, Archbishop, General, King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook. 

Pieces

Rules

The standard rules of Chess apply except that a stalemated player loses.
