Geneva chess

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.

Geneva chess is a symbiosis of the variants Big Game and Shako. This is also 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 with additional Xiangqi pieces and therefore allows the use of standard and well-known chess equipment and instruments.

Promotion rule: a pawn that reaches the eighth rank to be replaced of a knight of the same color, a knight that reaches the ninth or tenth rank to be replaced of a queen of the same color.
