Fortuna

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
William Shakespeare

Fortuna chess is a commercial game without a draw. 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 the additional piece Elephant and therefore allows the use of standard and well-known chess (checkers) equipment and instruments.

The rules of the game are similar to classic chess, but with some exceptions.
Pawn moves as Wazir but captures as Ferz.
Checker is a fairy chess piece Modern Elephant. Moves as Ferz and Alfil (1X , ~ 2X).
Promotion rule: a pawn that reaches the ninth rank to be replaced of a queen of the same color.
The value of pieces:
Pawn - 1 point,
Knight - 2 points,
Elephant - 2 points,
Bishop - 3 points,
Rook - 5 points,
Queen - 10 points,
King - 20 points.
The first person to get fifty (or if it is impossible more) points is the winner.
