Grand Chess
1 of 1nouna large-board variant of chess that uses a 10x10 board and introduces additional pieces and expanded rules, offering new strategic possibilities compared to traditional chess
Grand Chess is a chess variant played on a 10x10 board instead of the standard 8x8 grid. In this version, each player has 20 pieces, including the usual pieces such as pawns, rooks, knights, bishops, queens, and kings, along with two new pieces: the marshal and the cardinal. The marshal combines the moves of a rook and a knight, while the cardinal combines the moves of a bishop and a knight. These additional pieces, along with the larger board, introduce new strategic possibilities and challenges. The goal of Grand Chess remains the same as traditional chess: to checkmate the opponent's king. The larger board and extra pieces add more complexity and depth to the game.
- When learning Grand Chess, it takes time to get used to the extra pieces and their unique moves.
- Some players enjoy the challenge of Grand Chess because it adds more depth compared to regular chess.
- My friend introduced me to Grand Chess last weekend, and I was amazed at how different it felt from regular chess.
- I usually play regular chess, but today we decided to try Grand Chess for a change.
- I find it harder to win at Grand Chess because the larger board makes it more challenging to control the center.
