ABSTRACT:
A chess game apparatus is provided having a playing board of tray-like construction and a number of playing pieces of cube-shape which are cooperatively and selectively interarranged to form both the playing surface and the game pieces. The apparatus game board includes a supporting surface having a peripheral upstanding edge wall and a spring biased retainer bar for securing the several playing pieces in relatively fixed array on the board. A number of the playing pieces are provided with the indicia of the several chess pieces. Three of the six sides of each cube-shaped playing pieces are of one color background while the other three sides are of a different color, such as black and white, so that the playing pieces can simulate and function as the alternately colored squares of a playing board. Several selected pieces function as the actual game pieces with two or more sides of each of these cubes provided with appropriate indicia for the respective indicia of a particular game piece. The number of such selected playing pieces is determined in accordance with the predetermined number of different types of moves that can be made during a game to enable the respective game pieces to be properly positioned in any designated location on the game board and to have the remaining pieces form the remainder of the playing board.
