ABSTRACT:
Methods for playing variations of the game of chess include a playing area having 144 playing stations arranged in a 12 by 12 matrix. Two, three, or four players can utilize the playing area to play a game of chess. The game may be played using common chess pieces of a “phantom” player, wherein the real players take turns moving the common chess pieces. In a preferred playing embodiment, when a player is checkmated, all of the players chess pieces are removed from the playing area. In another preferred embodiment, when a player is checkmated, only the checkmated player's king is removed from the playing area, with all the other chess pieces of the checkmated player remaining immobile on playing area. In another preferred embodiment, one or more master pawns may replace conventional pawns. The master pawns move diagonally and capture straight ahead.
