ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a modified chess game provides a game board having alternating dark and light squares arrayed in a ten-row by ten-column configuration. The sixteen pieces of orthodox chess are all provided in each color, with the addition of ninth and tenth pawns and two new "dragon" pieces. Four dragon's lair squares are provided, two on each of the first and tenth rows. The dragon's lair squares provide a starting location for each dragon, and are located adjacent to starting position of the king and queen. A king may not move into the dragon's lair square of the opposing team; therefore a king caught between these squares may be checkmated by the opposing king with the assistance of only two knights.
