ABSTRACT:
A variation of the game of chess featuring reserve pieces used to replace captured pieces. Reserve pieces are gained by capturing the opponents remaining pieces on the board at checkmate. In one embodiment the replacement pieces are placed on the square they originated on at the beginning of the game or the next available open square in the file. In another embodiment the pieces are replaced on the square they were captured at thus retaking the square and the opponents piece. Replacing the captured piece may be optional or mandatory and may occur at the turn of the capture or later. The game can be played by two or more players in person or at distant locations. A scoring system can be used for tournaments. Computers can be used to keep track of the reserves, scoring, matching of players in the tournament and communications for remote players over the internet.
