THe chess game is applied for logical competition, mostly between two, three or four teams. It has a circular chessboard having eight concentric circular strips and 16 or 24, or 32 radial strips. Dark and light squares are arranged in a checkered manner on the strips. The men per team of wo players are: two Kings, two Queens, four bishops, knights and rooks each, arranged on two adjacent radial strips, and the respective pawns are located on both their sides. The pawns move in two opposite directions, and the pieces - over the whole board. When using a board of 16 radial strips the pieces and the pawns of the other team are arranged in the same manner at 1800. Each set of pieces and pawns has different colour. When the pieces and pawns only of two players are arranged on the same board only four circular strips are occupied. For a boardd with 24 radial stripes there are three sets of pieces and pawns arranged at 1200 each, and for a board having 32 radial strips - four sets each at 900. There are alternatives for a game including only one King, the second King being replaced by a piece called ADC, having a move of two neighbouring squares and the right of jumping over a piece or pawn situated in an adjacent square. It is also possible to use more complex arrangements in zig-zag, spiral, etc. arrangements. In all arrangements there are four squares each between the adjacent opponent pawns.
