This game maps the extended 3D movements (see also game 'Cross3D' 8x8x8) to two 2D boards, representing each respectively odds and even number levels.
The chessmen consist for each color in a normal set of pieces initially set on one board:
- King[K] steps orthogonal, diagonal or triagonal.
- Queen[Q] slides orthogonal, diagonal or triagonal.
- Bishop[B] slides diagonal on the same color.
- Pawn[P] steps one vacant forward orthogonal or triagonal, or two on the first move, captures one forward diagonal.
- Knight[N] leaps in a 2:1:0 type movement.
- Rook[R] slides orthogonal or triagonal on alternate colors.
Usual King castling, Pawns double initial step, en passant capture and promotion are allowed.
The game is won by checkmating the opponent King.
Variant 'Mapped Chess Protect' adds protection to the King by setting Pawns not moving nor capturing, but subjected to capture. |
