<p>A chess-like game for two players, with a modified game board and a small number of playing pieces, in order to make it easy to learn and play and yet retain much of the appeal of the conventional chess game, in terms of strategy and tactics. In the preferred embodiment of the game, Pawns and Kings are completely eliminated, and a piece called Prince is used with a subset of conventional chess pieces. The Prince is allowed the moves of Rook, Bishop or Knight. The board is divided into Safety, Combat, Neutral and Waiting zones, and the method of playing the game is disclosed. Other embodiments are similar, although the types of pieces used and some of the rules employed differ somewhat from the preferred embodiment.</p> |
