Queenmania

By Gerd P. Degens

 

For the game each player needs 11 queens, 4 bishops, 4 rooks, 4 knights, 1 king and 12 pawns.

Only the king moves by default, the other pieces get changed moves.

The game is played on a 12 x 12 board. The FIDE rules apply - with the following exceptions.

Castling now takes place between king and queen.

Queen (5 step queen):


Bishop (4 step bishop):


Rook (4 step rook):


Knight (Doubleknight):
