TriBoChess is chess on a triangular board. The board is covered with triangular cells in four colour networks. The four colours help to define the paths of bishops since each bishop moves through cells of one colour in a zigzag along a line which is parallel to a side of the board. Each player starts with a bishop in each of the four coloured networks, otherwise each player has a standard set of chess pieces but placed initially around a corner or the centre of a side of the board. Piece moves resemble those of the corresponding pieces in standard chess being one or more steps which are each either orthogonal, across a common side, or diagonal, across a common vertex, in a straight line between two cells.
Concepts which do not transfer from standard chess to TriBoChess are: initial double step movement of a pawn; en passant pawn moves; pawn promotion; castling. The relative strengths of the pieces in TriBoChess differ from those in standard chess. |
