Ultimate Chess is a chess variant played on an 8x16 board. In addition to the six traditional chess pieces, a seventh piece is introduced, the "Leaper," moving as a 3x1 Knight. Additionally, ten other pieces are introduced, each of them owning a different combination of the moves of Knight, Bishop, Rook, and/or Leaper: Cardinal = Knight + Bishop, Hunter = Leaper + Bishop, Jester = Knight + Leaper, Marshall = Knight + Rook, Viceroy = Leaper + Rook, Demon = Knight + Leaper + Bishop, Wizard = Knight + Leaper + Rook, Amazon = Knight + Bishop + Rook, Samurai = Leaper + Bishop + Rook, and General = Knight + Leaper + Bishop + Rook. |
