ABSTRACT:
A modified chess game (10) consists of a game board (26) having eight horizontal rows and two additional columns added between the bishop and knight. A new game piece, an earl, is added and located on bottom and top row in each new columns. The earl moves in moves from an origin, along a left earl first movement for two forward diagonals then moves one forward diagonal perpendicular to the left earl first movement first direction along a left earl first movement second direction. An alternative move is disclosed consisting of a move along a left earl second movement one forward diagonal then moves two forward diagonals perpendicular to a left earl second movement second direction. The left earl (12AA) captures an opponent's game piece if the opponent game piece is on a square which is the terminating square of the left earl first movement or left earl second movement. Intervening game pieces of either side are jumped. At the next turn for the left earl (12AA) the move sequence may be repeated. When an opponent game piece is located on the next successive forward diagonal, the left earl (12AA) may move along a left earl third movement, one forward diagonal and capture the opponent game piece. A right earl (12AB) moves in a similar fashion. Four additional pawns are added complementary to the left earl (12AA) and right earl (12AB).
