ABSTRACT:
An improved game of chess is disclosed in which capture as a strategy is weakened and major pieces are subsequently kept on the board to enhance strategic play. Captured major pieces are replaced with pawns, the game starts with each player having only four pawns on the board, each player is limited to one pawn per file, and pawns promote at the fifth rank, but only from captured major pieces. A protected pawn cannot be captured by a major piece. A chess board is disclosed for enhancing playability of the game. The board is divided into two halves representing the player's representative sides of the board, by a colored dividing line and differently colored light squares representing the two halves. In the initial setup, each player has pawns on Rook 4, Queen 4 and King 3, and these squares are marked on the board to facilitate correct initial positioning of the pawns.
