Spatial Chess 14 X 14
Spatial Chess 14 X 14 has several remarkable qualities:
-
The edges of the board are merely representational!
Orthogonal and diagonal movement of a circumnavigational
nature is possible since spaces represented on opposite
edges are also actually adjacent to one another.
-
Draws are rare.
-
Each player begins with 42 pieces- 16 bishops, 22 rooks, 4 queens.
-
No pawns, knights or king(s) are used.
-
Development is faster, more dangerous, less tedious than with standard chess.
-
The theoretical depth is NOT disappointing.
-
The opening setup has perfect, bilateral symmetry.
Game stability and a very small first-move advantage are assured due to:
-
An opening setup where no captures are possible upon the first move.
Spatial Chess 14 X 14 is ready to be played, analyzed, enjoyed against computer
and/or human opponents.
-
"Zillions Of Games 1.X" allows the opening setup to be played directly as a game.
-
Eleven standard chess sets are required to physically own a Spatial Chess 14 X 14 set
(except the board).
