Hello chess players! I continue to go with the chess evolution and had gone to the new chess variant titled “Avant-garde Grand Chess”.
Let me introduce the new chess variant unoccupied still by Artificial Intelligence.
The game was developed as an alternative to Omega Chess [4], Grand Chess [5], Archchess [6], Pacific Chess [7] and Mideast Chess [8]. This 100-squares chess variant has wide strategic and tactical possibilities but at the same time is using an extended set of the chess pieces with the traditional style of movement well known to all chess players. Pieces are arranged hierarchically and harmonically at the initial position.
The initial (in agree with etiquette centre-symmetrical) position at the game Avant-garde Grand Chess with the 10x10 board is follows.
Here is used partly the design of the classical chess from [2].
It is possible to reprisent the initial position by the piece's letters from Algebraic chess notation (each chess piece is denoted by one letter of its name).
White:
1. (P) Pawn: a3, b3, c3, d3, e3, f3, g3, h3, i3, k3.
2. (N) Knight: a2, b2, k2, i2.
3. (G) Guard: d2, e2, f2, g2.
4. (B) Bishop: c2, h2.
5. (C) Cardinal: c1, h1.
6. (R) Rook: a1, k1.
7. (M) Marshal: b1, i1.
8. (A) Adviser: d1, g1.
9. (Q) Queen: f1.
10.(K) King: e1.
Black:
1. (P) Pawn: a8, b8, c8, d8, e8, f8, g8, h8, i8, k8.
2. (N) Knight: a9, b9, k9, i9.
3. (G) Guard: d9, e9, f9, g9.
4. (B) Bishop: c9, h9.
5. (C) Cardinal: c10, h10.
6. (R) Rook: a10, k10.
7. (M) Marshal: b10, i10.
8. (A) Adviser: d10, g10.
9. (Q) Queen: f10.
10.(K) King: e10.
Rules:
1. The orthogonal mode of the movement O or O(n), where n is the number of the path cells.
2. The diagonal mode of the movement D or D(n), where n is the number of the path cells.
3. The first, second ant third neighbor mode of the movement N(n), where n=1,2,3 over the neighbor occupied or unoccupied squares N(x), where x less n (Jump).
1. (P) The pawn moves ahead, without capturing, by O(1) mode und captures by D(1) mode.
Pawn may advance in its first ahead move, without capturing, by O(2) mode.
The pawn may standard capture «en passant».
The pawn that reaches the ninth promotion row can (at the player's disire) promote or not promote for knight, guard or bishop. It also promotes for any another (at the player's choice) piece when it reaches the last tenth rank.
2. (N) The knight moves by N(2) without O(2) and D(2) modes.
3. (G) The guard moves by O(1), O(2) or D(1), D(2) modes.
4. (B) The bishop moves by D mode.
5. (C) The cardinal combines the powers of the bishop and knight.
6. (L) The rook moves by O mode.
7. (M) The marshal combines the powers of the rook and knight.
8. (A) The adviser moves by O or D modes.
9. (Q) The queen (Amazonka) combines the powers of the adviser and knight.
10. (K) The king moves by N(1) mode and has the knight move during the game, provided that he hasn't been checked before he makes his knight move. It loses the right to make his knight move after the check.
Castling doesn't exist (compare with Chaturanga [3]). The king may advance in its first double move
Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess [1].
