Others have only a single rule change.Why learn about Variants?Playing a variant can be a light hearted form of entertainment after playing competitive chess.Some are easy to play, some can be highly complex. Some variants have instructional value, especially for juniors. Some variants help teach the abilityto see ahead and see around. Types of Chess VariantsSome use all or some of the standard chess pieces. This book will mostly concentrate on those variants which use a standard chess board and do not need non-chess pieces. There are many variants which use different types of boards. Some are not square. For example, they may be rectangular or Cross-shaped.A few are square though smaller than 8x8, while others are larger. This book will concentrate on variants you can play with a normal chessboard and set. In some cases an additional board or pieces are needed. You will not need to create new types of pieces or boards. Most variants are two player games. Some are solitaire games, while others are multi-player. Some variants require a lot of skill while others are much simpler than standard chess. Some variants have a chance element.Overview of RulesThis is not an encyclopedia of the all the many chess variants.Many of the variants have variations in the rules.

Download or read book More Chess More Than Chess written by Jean-Louis Cazaux and published by . This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History tells us that since the obscure age of the invention of chess, many attempts have been made to incorporate alternative boards and pieces with different moves and powers. Even if they have often been seen as a distraction, sometimes as a heresy, interest in chess variants has never stopped. Now, in the age of computers, artificial intelligence and global networks, this interest is more active than ever. Hundreds of chess variants are created every year, some meeting with success. The largest quantity of variants involves unorthodox pieces, often played on boards larger than the usual one of 64 squares. This is the vast area that this book explores. The author presents some of his most successful creations, such as Shako and Metamachy, together with a selection of brilliant games from other inventors. These chess variants are presented in detail and illustrated with diagrams and examples of play. An online appendix invites the reader to continue the exploration by playing the games on the Internet. No doubt they will be a source of inspiration for the next generation of players and insatiable creators.
