Big Game
The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.
Thomas Huxley
Big Game
Kosintsev I.G.
(22.01.2021)
The chess variant Big Game represents a new approach to the invention and creation of 10x10 Grand chess. Not extended in front, but a compact arrangement of chess pieces are used, which is fully consistent with Fisher's concept of 'dominant chess' with high activity of all pieces.
This variant is close to the classical one and therefore allows the use of standard and well-known chess equipment and instruments.
Checker is a fairy chess piece Guard. Moves as Pasha (King and Alibaba).
Promotion rule: a pawn that reaches the eighth rank to be replaced of a guard of the same color, a guard that reaches the ninth or tenth rank to be replaced of a queen of the same color.
Pieces are simultaneously seven virtues of Bushido:
Justice（義）K
Courage（勇）Q
Benevolence（仁）B
Truthfulness（誠）R
Honor（名誉）N
Loyalty（忠義) G
Politeness/Respect（礼）P

Cook's chess (華棋)
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

The Free Chess Society supports and protects the individuality of each player. This means that chess pieces can have any fair interpretation. For example, you can play Waterloo by classical Dai shogi 大将棋 pieces with appropriate rules. This chess variant is called Cook's chess or 華棋.
The complete set has 60 double-sided pieces (checkers): 40 yellow/green and 20 red/blue:
1. King 王 or 玉: f10 and e1.
2. Queen 奔 f1,e10.
3. Rook 飛: b1,i1,b10,i10.
4. Lance 香: a1,k1,a10,k10.
5. Bishop 角: c1,h1,c10,h10.
6. Knight 桂: c2,h2,c9,h9.
7. Gold general 金: e2,f2,e9,f9.
8. Silver general 銀: d2,g2,d9,g9.
9. Copper general 銅:: b2,i2,b9,i9.
10. Iron general 鉄: a2,k2,a9,k9.
11. Lion 獅 d1,g1,d10,g10.
12. Pawn 歩: a3-k3, a8-k8.
Promotion is absent. The three furthest ranks are an opponent's kingdom. A pawn is moved from this ranks as king. A iron general is moved from this ranks as silver general. A copper general, lance or a knight is moved from this ranks as gold general.
Chess players are not idiots. Consequently, any classical obstruction against exellent variants of chess will disappear over time.

Izmail
Suwarrow now was conqueror — a match
For Timour or for Zinghis in his trade.
While mosques and streets, beneath his eyes, like thatch
Blazed, and the cannon's roar was scarce allay'd,
With bloody hands he wrote his first despatch;
And here exactly follows what he said: —
'Glory to God and to the Empress!' (Powers
Eternal! such names mingled!) 'Ismail 's ours.'
George Gordon Byron

This is a fantastic novelty in western and eastern chess! The variant Izmail is a classical mirror-symetrical chess in the center of a 10x10 board with two additional pairs of Chinese chess Cannons located in the four corners of this board.
