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.

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
