Object of the Petrit Chess game is to checkmate the opponent's King by attacking iT so iT cannot escape anywhere!
Note: In 'aSymmetric', 'nonSymmetric' and 'Duel' game variants the same Black and White pieces might not have the same defined movements!
[In 'Promotion' variants [King is not a Royal piece!] PPawn's promotion immediately wins a game!].
Petrit Chess game is same as Amazon Chess game, except that next to King instead of an Amazon is an Petrit piece!
Note: Pawn's [PPawn's] in Petrit Chess game must take [capture] opponents piece if in position to do so!
Starting position of pieces in the Petrit Chess game is same as is in Chess game!
[Amazon Chess game is same as Chess game, except that Pawn's may promote to Amazon piece too!].
In the beginning of the game, develop your pieces [Petrit piece too!], without losing a 'tempo'! Do not advance your Pawn's [PPawn's] to fast, to soon! Castle on time, and protect your King!
Exchange lower valued pieces for higher valued ones! Look to break opponent defense with 'clever' sacrifices, and play, and play, and play, and play and play...!!!
[Note: a Pawn [PPawn] is worth 1 point, a Bishop is worth 3 points, a Knight is worth 3 points, a Rook is worth 5 points, a Petrit is worth 2 points, and an Amazon piece is worth 13 points!].
Remark: Due to unconventional and sometimes non-intuitive piece movements: 'aSymmetric', 'nonSymmetric' and 'Duel' variants are especially challenging and fun to play! Just try to 'byte' a computer opponent [Zillions engine!]. |
