MILLENNIUM CHESS GAME RULES "Millennium Chess" is the only game patented in the United States and Canada to Build "Chess Muscles" and Improve Classic Chess Skills simply by playing Our game! "Millennium Chess" is played with the same basic rules as Classic Chess, however some new rules were added to compensate for extra "Key" playing pieces (such as the King). These additional rules stimulate more strategic retaliation and intense battles with your opponent. Piece advancements and captures are identical to Classic Chess. ( We did not deviate from the Traditional Playing Moves ) When pawns make it to the opposing back row...only pieces already captured can be re-instated. Example: You lose a Knight. If that is your only man captured by the time your pawn reaches the back row, only your Knight can be re-instated. (If you had several men captured, then you select which piece you choose to re-instate. There is an exception please read on.) The Difference: Different from Classic Chess, Millennium Chess provides each player with 2 Kings. The first King to be captured is called your "Keystone" King. Once captured, the "Keystone" King cannot be placed back on the board for the duration of your game. Respect Thy Queen! When setting up the board, Queens are always placed on their color. Example: White queens on white squares, dark queens on dark squares. The Kings If two (2) of your Kings remain, neither King can be placed in "Check". You can only be placed in "Check" after 1 King has been captured. King Castling Kings cannot "Castle" past the center Rook. (Nor from End to End) ( There is no exception to this rule) When only 1 King remains, that King cannot "Castle" to remove himself from "Check". In Classic Chess, a player cannot "Castle" if an opponent's piece intervenes or intersects with the castling area. In "Millennium Chess", when a player has 2 Kings on the board, some normal King rules are suspended. Therefore, this is the one time a player may "Castle" through an intervened area or "Castle the King out of Jeopardy". Players should not announce when they are taking their opponent's first King "Keystone King" ~ Remember ~ "Millennium" Chess was invented too help chess players "Build their Chess Muscles" and improve their existing Chess Skills!
