ABSTRACT:
A new, expanded chess game is disclosed which provides a game board having an upper surface for playing the expanded chess game and a first and a second set of game pieces for use by a first and a second player, respectively. The playing surface provides a unique octagonal shape comprised of a plurality of squares over which the game pieces move. Each set of game pieces includes the standard set of chess pieces from the standard game of chess, namely a King, a Queen, two Rooks, two Bishops, two Knights, and eight Pawns, and two of a new, separate game piece called the Viceroy. Each of the standard chess pieces operate in accordance with the rules of standard chess with the exception that the castling procedure is not permitted in the expanded chess game. The new, Viceroy game pieces move two spaces at a time in one of a forward, backward, left, right, or diagonal motion. The combination of the new, expanded octagonal playing surface with the new Viceroy game piece provides a new, expanded chess game having a greater number of potential game scenarios.
