'Capablanca Shatranj' plays just like 'Capablanca Chess' except the
'Chancellor' and 'Archbishop' are replaced by the 'Minister' and
'HighPriestess', and pawns can only promote to these pieces.
* Minister: dabbaba-wazir-knight
* HighPriestess: alfil-fers-knight
Everything else is normal chess, pawns have their 2 step first move
and castling is allowed. All variants in the Capablanca family of
games are featured.
At first the new pieces i was going to use were the Knight-Dabbaba
and Knight-Alfil compound pieces but their pawn protection on
opening set-up was not good enough. As it is now, the Minister and
HighPriestess protect the same pawns on opening set-up as the
Chancellor and Archbishop do.
This idea is very simple. Awhile ago i could see that the Chancellor
and Archbishop could be 'shatranj-ized' into the Knight-Dabbaba and
Knight-Alfil compound pieces. I hope i have presented it here in an
interesting way.
ok, have fun!! :) |
