ABSTRACT:
A game board for the game of chess and other games such as checkers, consists of four concentric rings of playing areas, the center ring being circular. The center ring has four playing areas, the second ring twelve, the third ring twenty and the fouth ring twenty-eight. The abutting playing areas are of contrasting appearance as is usually the case in a chess board. Four rows of corner playing areas, which may all be trilateral, radiate symmetrically form the center of the board. The outermost corner areas may be other shapes, such as circular or rombic. The remainder of the playing areas are quadrilateral. The board is suitable for playing a conventional game of chess, but also adapts itself well to a slightly modified game where the rook and queen pieces are allowed to travel around the board, moving from rank to file to create a logically valid flanking action and a centrifugal emphasis that is entirely absent in the conventional game.
