Note: This rule can not be altered. Dark pieces must be set up on white corners, The White pieces must be set up on dark corners! Remember ... "Honor Thy Queen"! She must always be placed on her "Respective" color! (White Queens on White Squares, Dark Queens on Dark Squares) Typical Classical Chess Chess is played on a square board that is divided into sixty-four squares (8-by-8) of alternating color, which is very similar to that used in checkers. The chess boards used at chess tournaments have squares of approximately 50 to 65 mm (2.0 to 2.5 inches). The chess boards used at chess tournaments are usually green and buff color (off white), which is considered "easier on the eyes" than black and white, and because it is easier to distinguish occupied and empty squares when the board colors are different from the piece colors. No matter what the true color of the board (which come in a wide variety of colors), the (thirty-two) lighter colored squares are called "white", and the (thirty-two) darker colored squares are called "black". Upon the board move sixteen "white" and sixteen "black" pieces. The chess pieces used at chess tournaments are usually Stanton Style shapes, and (unlike the board) often are black and white. Sets used for play are commonly made of wood or plastic, although ornamental sets exist made of stone,glass or metal, which are often used to decorate homes. Ivory was fairly commonly used at one time. Chessboards are commonly made out of vinyl or wood. They can be made of cardboard, leather, stone, glass or any other material that the design can be placed on. Millennium Chess is played on a 15 by 8 board that is divided into 120 squares alternating in color. This is very similar to the same set up on the Classical Chess board. Our squares are designed so that you would feel the same playing area to be the same as it would on a regular chess board game. We offer a variety of different colors between our Roll-up Version and our wooden boards. Yet please understand that all the moves on Millennium Chess Game Board is no different then playing regular classical chess The ultimate aim in the game of chess is to win by trapping your opponent's king. (This is called checkmate.) White is always first to move and players take turns alternately moving one piece at a time. Movement is required. Each type of piece has its own method of movement. A piece may be moved to another position or may capture an opponent's piece. This is done by landing on the appropriate square with the moving piece and removing the defending piece from play. With the exception of the knight, a piece may not move over or through any of the other pieces. Choosing who will go first: Usually by one player placing a pawn in each hand and closing his fists. Holding forth his fists the opposing player picks one. Whatever color the pawn he chooses is the side he shall command. |
