MYROCHESS

We found playing regular chess boring. So, we decided to come up with our own game.

We used our imagination, a standard chess set, checkers, and a chessboard.

1. The starting position is as shown in the diagram.
2. Pieces for each color:
3. 16 standard chess pieces
4. 8 checkers
5. Played by two players.
6. Movement Rules
7. A player's turn consists of two mandatory actions:
8. Moving a chess piece (any chess piece except a pawn).
9. Moving a checker or a pawn. This move is mandatory if possible; if not possible, this part of the turn is skipped.
10. All pieces move according to standard chess and checkers rules, with a few exceptions:
11. A checker cannot capture backwards.
12. A king (in checkers) can capture and move just as in standard checkers.
13. If a checker or pawn reaches the furthest rank (the 8th rank for White, the 1st rank for Black), it must be promoted to another piece of the player's choice:
14. A checker is promoted to a king (in checkers).
15. A pawn may be promoted to a Queen, Rook, Bishop, or Knight. The choice is not limited to pieces that have already been captured.
16. A pawn cannot remain a pawn.
17. After promotion, the piece cannot move in its new capacity during the same turn. For example, if a pawn is promoted to a Queen, it cannot immediately make a move as a Queen within that same turn. Similarly, if a checker is promoted to a king (in checkers), it cannot move as a king during that same turn.
18. The winner is the player who checkmates the opponent's King, according to standard chess rules.

This game is extremely simple to make😀.

You need a chess set and a checkers set.

When creating the game, we followed the principle: “A new game doesn’t have to be completely novel; it should be based on games that users are already familiar with.”

How to record progress.

In general, the course entry looks like this: figure letter + assignment field.

An example of a pawn move: e4 (the pawn went to the e4 square).

An example of a piece move: Nf5 (the bishop went to the f5 square) or Kf3 (the knight went to the f3 square).

Taking: is indicated by the sign x (or a colon :), for example: exd5 (pawn from line "e" beats on d5) or Kxf7 (knight beats on f7).

Casting:

Short score — 0-0

Long casting — 0-0-0

Checkmate:

Chess is indicated by the sign + (for example, Хh5+)

Checkmate is denoted by # (for example, Хxf7#)

Additional symbols and game total

Estimates of moves: ! (good move), ? (bad move), !? (interesting move), ?! (dubious move).

The result of the game: is recorded at the end:

1–0 — victory for white

0–1 — Black wins

½–½ is a draw
