Years ago I bought some cards with chess boards printed on them and a supply of adhesive chess pieces, in order to record game position. The company that used to sell them seems to be focussing on dice nowadays.
Does anyone know anywhere I could get hold of something similar?
the match of the century began. The USCF is offering a membership special. Contact USCF for details and perhaps negotiate your own deal if needed. Good luck.
world title match will be in Oct 2013. Possibly in India. An 8 player double round robin event in London in March 2013 will determine Anand's challenger.
The kings are positionned as a standard chess (white e1 and black e8) . The other squares each contain a queen (white of the first four rows , except e1, black on the last four rows , except e8 )
Apart from the particular opening setup , the game is played following all applicable rules of standard chess
The queen replaced by amazon , the bishops by cardinals , and the rooks by Marshalls (in move , amazon = queen and knight , marshall = rook and knight , cardinal = bishop and knight)
There is no a castle
Pawns can be promoted on a knight , rook , queen or bishop , as a standard chess
tutti frutti chess was invented in 1978 by Ralph Betsa and Philip Cohen . There are nine different pieces (each player starts a game with eight pawns (placed on their standard Chess positions) , one Amazon (on the D column) , one Marshall (on the A column) , one Cardinal (on the G column) , one queen (on the F column) , one rook (on the H column) , one bishop (on the C column) , one knight (on the B column) and one king (on the E column) .
In move , Marshall = knight and rook , Amazon = queen and knight , and Cardinal = bishop and knight
The king cas castle with the marshall , following standard castling rules
When a pawn reaches the last row (from the player's point of view) , it can be promoted to a knight , a rook , a bishop , a queen , a marshall , a cardinal or a amazon
The other rules are the same as for Standard chess
Hrqls: I am sure if Sheldon thought of it there would have to be some big explosion with some piece and the game would be over in a trice but to get there would require 23 moves performed in exactly the right order whilst facing west and only breathing out ... bless his soul.
you are probably all also watching the big bang theory .... :)
in one of the episodes sheldon came up with a new type of chess with 2 extra pieces (the old lady and the serpent) ... that might actually be an interesting type of chess
later in the same episode they added even more rules and pieces, but i lost count at that time :)
