ABSTRACT:
Chess pieces each with a detachable marker at the base of the piece to permit playing variations without the necessity of starting from move one of a diagramless game. The marker is removably attached to the piece, preferably by magnetic means, and the board is magnetically attenuated, such as a standard board ferric-metalized at the preferably non-playing surface, to retain the detached marker in the original square yet not interfere with piece movement or reunion of piece and its marker, and make detachment easy despite firm magnetic attachment of piece and marker. The marker includes a portion extending beyond the peripheral edge of the base of the piece so that the marker is visible, but not distractingly so, when attached to the piece to indicate the original position of the piece.
