Newly Invented #Chess #Checkers Variant

By Alex and Craig Hamilton

Board Setup:  One player plays with chess pieces.  The other player has checkers pieces.

For the player with chess pieces:

• There is the same number of chess pieces, 16, for the player who has chess pieces.
• The King is white, and he goes on his color.  The Queen is black, and she goes on her color.
• Each chess piece, black or white, goes on it’s color.  For example, the Castle on the right side of the board is white, while the Castle on the left side of the board is black.
• The chess pieces move and capture as they would in a normal game of chess.
• The way for the chess player to win is to eliminate all of the checkers on the board.

For the player with checkers:

• In this variant, the checkers player controls 36 checkers.
• These 36 checkers cover the the checkers player’s entire half of the board.
• Each checker goes on it’s color, black or red.
• The player with checkers plays opposite the side of the player with chess pieces.
• The checkers move as checkers normally move.
• The way for the checkers player to win is to put the chess player’s King in checkmate.

Please note:  There are 2 tokens used in the checker player’s that represent two missing red checkers.
