ABSTRACT:
This invention is a chess-type board game apparatus and method of playing the same with a modified chess board having a main rectangular playing field and a generally pentagonal shaped field extending from one side thereof. The playing field as a whole comprises one-hundred eighteen identifiable squares of alternating color arranged in fourteen rank and eleven file rows and being divided into identical right and left halves about a center file row. Ten of the squares function as barriers which are strategically placed and are not available for occupancy by a playing piece. The playing field includes a throne square which imparts enhanced movement capabilities to playing pieces. The game is played by two opponents, each using ten playing pieces corresponding to the queen, knight, rook, and bishop of the conventional game of chess, each of the two sets of playing pieces being positioned at predetermined locations occupying the outer rank and file rows contained in the main rectangular field at the commencement of a game.
