Byzantine Chess Byzantine Chess: Byzantine (circular) chess is played on a round board. The board is divided into four rows of sixteen squares each, with the center empty. The pieces are arranged in the manner shown in the diagram, or in it's reverse, with the king and queen on the outside rank and the rooks on the inner one. The play of the game is not affected either way. The reverse arrangement is used in a variation which divided the center into quadrants. If the king can enter his own quadrant the game is tied. The king moves as in modern chess, with the same rules regarding check and checkmate. There is no castling. The queen moves one short step on the diagonal. The bishop makes a short leap on the diagonal. That is, he moves two spaces, never more or less, diagonally, but can jump over any intervening piece to do so. The knight moves as in modem chess. The rook also moves as in the modern game. The pawns move forward one step and capture on the diagonal as in modern chess. However, they have no initial move of two steps; thus, there is no en passant. Because the round board lacks an end, the pawns do not promote to queen; they simply continue around the board and can, in theory, make several circuits. Since they move in two directions, two pawns of the same player might meet on the same rank and block each other. If this happens, the player can simply remove both of them from the board without losing his turn. Since a pawn can make a circuit of the board, modem players would be will advised to pay attention so as to remember how pawns move and capture. This problem can be solved by slightly varying the clockwise and counter clockwise pawns. Another option would be to use a chess set of four-handed chess, which would already have differentiated pawns. There are three ways to win in Byzantine chess. The most honorable victory is checkmate, as in the modem game. When players wagered on the game this was worth the whole stake. The Arabs considered stalemate a victory, but an inferior one. When they wagered on a game, stalemate was worth half the stake. Both the Arabs and Europeans had a third kind of victory, bare king. When a king had lost all his men he was defeated if he could not bare the other king on the next move. This, too was an inferior win, worth only half the stake. The difference in the power of move between modern and medieval chess was heightened on the round board. The increase in the comparative power of the rooks (with a weak queen and weak bishop) was enhanced by the fact that they were in file to begin with. In addition, the rook could make a complete circuit of the board and so could simultaneously attack from both the front and the rear. Merels or Nine Men's Morris: Merels (also spelled Merreles), or Nine Men's Morris, is a simple board game for two players. It was popular in the 14th century, but earlier versions with fewer than nine pieces have been found dating back to 1400 BC. As with other medieval games, many different rules have evolved over the years. Players are advised to agree on the rules by which they will play before starting. I will indicate which rules are commonly used, but would not wish to discourage players from trying alternatives. The game is played on a square board, as illustrated. There are 24 points (marked with dots in the illustration), and pieces may move between them only along the marked lines. Only one piece may be placed on any point. The players start with nine pieces, with a different color for each player. Unlike other games, the board is initially empty. The players place their pieces on the board alternately, as described below. The players must decide between them who is to start. The players take turns in placing one piece at a time on any unoccupied point on the board. Each player attempts to form mills. A mill consists of a straight row of time of the players own pieces along a marked line. Whenever a player succeeds in making a mill, they may capture (or pound) an opponent's piece. Once captured, pieces cannot be brought back into play. Most rules forbid the capture of a piece that is within a mill either entirely, or unless there are no other pieces available. Once both players have placed all of their pieces on the board, they take turns in moving. Pieces may move only to adjacent points along the marked lines. Players must move if they can (even if it would be to their disadvantage). A player who cannot move loses the game. Again, the players are trying to form mills, and may capture an opponent's piece whenever one is made. Rules vary as to how mills may be broken and re-formed. Most allow a piece to move out of a mill, then move back the following go. This provides a clear advantage to the first player who can make a mill. A variation on this is to require that a minimum number of other moves (not necessarily with the same piece) must be played before a piece may be moved back into the same mill. This could be one, two or three moves. Common practice is to require that one intervening move must be made. No such restriction applies if a mill is being formed along a different line, or using different pieces. Finally, some rules require that the new mill must be along a different line Some versions of the game apply a special rule for movement when a player is reduced to three pieces. This rule is not commonly played within the Far Isles. Under this rule, once a player is reduced to three pieces, they are no longer limited to moving only to adjacent points. A piece may instead be moved to any unoccupied point on the board. Once a player has been reduced to two pieces, they are unable to capture any more of their opponents pieces, and therefore that player loses the game. Kubb Kubb "throwing logs" is a very old game dating back to the Viking Era A.D. 770. It is quite popular in Sweden, particularly on the island Gotland. Kubb is a "party game" which is played outdoors with 2-12 participants for ages 6 and up. Object: To be first team to knock over your opponent’s kubbs and the King using a baton. Contents: 10 Blocks (kubbs) 6 Batons 1 King 4 Corner Sticks Players: 2-12 players, 6 years and up, divided into 2 teams. Teams do not have to be of equal number. How to Set Up the Game: Kubb can be played on grass, sand, gravel or snow. Create the playing area by placing the corner sticks in a rectangular shape that measures 16’ x 26’. The area may be more or less depending on the players’ skills. On each end, place 5 kubbs upright and evenly apart. Place the king upright in the middle of the playing area. 26 Feet ) ) Kubbs Kubbs Team A’s Team B’s 16 Feet Playing Area Playing Area s Baseline ’ s Baseline (King) ’ (Team B (Team A Further Explanations of the Game Pieces: 1. Kubbs: Each team starts the game with 5 baseline kubbs. During the game, as the baseline kubbs are knocked over they become field kubbs. Field kubbs make the game more challenging and fun. 2. Batons: Each team will throw 6 batons during their turn. Batons must be held at one end and thrown underhand. 3. King: The king divides the playing area in half. If a team knocks over the King with a baton or kubb before the opponent’s kubbs are knocked over, that team loses. The Winner The first team to knock over all your opponent’s kubbs and the King wins the game. Good luck and remember to just have fun! Let’s Start To decide which team throws first, each team throws one baton at the King from their baseline. The team whose baton is the closest to the King without knocking it over starts the game. This team will be known as team A below. Finally, How to Play 1. Team A starts by distributing the batons within their team. 2. Players stand behind their own baseline and attempt to knock over the opponent’s baseline kubbs by throwing the batons one at a time. To make the game safer, opponents should not stand behind their own Kubbs while the other team is throwing. 3. When team A finishes throwing all 6 batons, the Kubbs that have been knocked over, if any, are now considered field kubbs. 4. The field kubbs are then thrown one at a time by Team B over to team A’s playing area (just past the king). When the field kubb lands within the playing area, it is raised by Team A where it rests. In the example below, Team A knocked over 2 of Team B’s baseline kubbs, Team B then threw the field kubbs into Team A’s playing area. Field kubbs (King) Team A’s Team B’s Playing Area Playing Area Tip: If more than one field kubb is to be thrown, attempt to throw the consecutive kubbs at the raised kubb. Each field kubb that hits the raised field kubb is to be put on top in hopes of building a “tower”.

  • Little Chess Evaluation Compendium by Lyudmil Tsvetkov, Sofia, Bulgaria
    Little Chess Evaluation Compendium By Lyudmil Tsvetkov, Sofia, Bulgaria Version from 2012, an update to an original version first released in 2010 The purpose will be to give a fairly precise evaluation for all the most important terms. Some authors might find some interesting ideas. For abbreviations, p will mean pawns, cp – centipawns, if the number is not indicated it will be centipawns, mps - millipawns; b – bishop, n – knight, k- king, q – queen and r –rook. Also b will mean black and w – white. We will assume that the bishop value is 3ps, knight value – 3ps, rook value – 4.5 ps and queen value – 9ps. In brackets I will be giving purely speculative numbers for possible Elo increase if a specific function is implemented (only for the functions that might not be generally implemented). The exposition will be split in 3 parts, reflecting that opening, middlegame and endgame are very different from one another. The essence of chess in two words Chess is a game of capturing. This is the single most important thing worth considering. But in order to be able to capture well, you should consider a variety of other specific rules. The more rules you consider, the better you will be able to capture. If you consider 10 rules, you will be able to capture. If you consider 100 rules, you will be able to capture in a sufficiently good way. If you consider 1000 rules, you will be able to capture in an excellent way. The philosophy of chess Chess is a game of correlation, and not a game of fixed values.

Vous avez accès aux règles en cliquant sur leurs noms, si celles-ci sont disponibles. Elles sont parfois en anglais faute de les avoir trouvées en français. Si un jeu vous intéresse, j'ai ajouté une colonne « JOUER EN LIGNE » où le lien vous redirigera vers le site qui me semble le plus fréquenté pour y jouer contre d'autres joueurs. J'ai remarqué 7 catégories de ces jeux selon leur but du jeu respectif. Elles sont décrites ci-dessous et sont précisées pour chaque jeu. Ces catégories sont directement inspirées du livre « Le livre des jeux de pions » de Michel Boutin. Si vous avez des remarques à me faire sur des jeux que j'aurai oubliés ou une mauvaise classification de certains, contactez-moi via mon blog (http://www.papatilleul.fr/). La définition des jeux combinatoires abstraits est disponible ICI. Si certains ne répondent pas à cette définition, merci de me prévenir également. LES CATÉGORIES CAPTURE : Le but du jeu est de capturer ou de bloquer un ou plusieurs pions en particulier. Cette catégorie se caractérise souvent par une hiérarchie entre les pièces. Chacune d'elle a une force et une valeur matérielle propre, résultantes de leur capacité de déplacement. ELIMINATION : Le but est de capturer tous les pions de son adversaire ou un certain nombre. Parfois, il faut capturer ses propres pions. BLOCAGE : Il faut bloquer son adversaire. Autrement dit, si un joueur n'a plus de coup possible à son tour, il perd la partie.

  • Chapter 10, Different Objectives of Play
    Chapter 10 Different objectives of play [The normal objective of a game of chess is to give checkmate. Some of the games which can be played with chessmen have quite different objectives, and two of them, Extinction Chess and Losing Chess, have proved to be among the most popular of all chess variants.] 10.1 Capturing or baring the king Capturing the king. The Chess Monthly than about the snobbery of Mr Donisthorpe!] hosted a lively debate (1893-4) on the suggestion of a Mr Wordsworth Donisthorpe, Baring the king. The rules of the old chess whose very name seems to carry authority, allowed a (lesser) win by ‘bare king’ and that check and checkmate, and hence stalemate, and Réti and Bronstein have stalemate, should be abolished, the game favoured its reintroduction. [I haven’t traced ending with the capture of the king. The the Bronstein reference, but Réti’s will be purpose of this proposed reform was to reduce found on page 178 of the English edition of the number of draws then (as now) prevalent Modern Ideas in Chess. It is in fact explicit in master play. Donisthorpe claimed that both only in respect of stalemate, though the words Blackburne and the American master James ‘the original rules’ within it can be read as Mason were in favour of the change, adding supporting bare king as well, and perhaps ‘I have little doubt the reform would obtain I ought to quote it in full.

  • FOUR DIMENSIONAL CHESS 1. FIDE Chess We Shall Assume A
    FOUR DIMENSIONAL CHESS BEN Abstract. This is a quick introduction to four dimensional chess, with the mathematics in mind. 1. FIDE Chess We shall assume a basic knowledge of chess, but desire to reintroduce the reader to movements of the pieces; in particular, we lead the discussion in a way that will flow more readily to multiple dimensions. 1.1. Rook. The FIDE Rook moves in a straight line horizontally or vertically, but may not \leap" any intervening piece. We shall find it more useful to think of the movement as a series of steps; each step is one square in a given dimension, and if the square so reached is empty, the rook may make an additional step, and so on. 1.2. Bishop. We make the same comment as for rooks, that it may be more convenient to think of a bishop's move as a series of steps in two dimensions (di-agonal). 1.3. Queen. The queen may be thought of as either: (1) a runner which may move in either one or two dimensions (2) a piece which combines the move-set of the rook and bishop 1.4. Knight. Certainly the knight is one of the more exotic pieces. It is a \leaper", meaning that it moves more than one square away and need not stop for intervening pieces. Furthermore, it moves one square in one dimension and two squares in another. This somewhat odd movement makes the knight perfect for math discussions such as the Knight's Tour or a variety of chess puzzles.

The first official rules for chess had been published in 1929 in French language. An update of the rules was published (once more in French language) in 1952 with the amendments of FIDE General Assembly. After another edition in 1966 with comments to the rules, finally in 1974 the Permanent Rules Commission published the first English edition with new interpretations and some amendments. In the following years the Permanent Rules Commission made some more changes, based on experience from competitions. The last major change was made in 2001 when the ‘more or less’ actual Laws of Chess had been written and split in three parts: the Basic Rules of Play, the Competition Rules and Appendices.

  • [Math.HO] 4 Oct 2007 Computer Analysis of the Two Versions
    Computer analysis of the two versions of Byzantine chess Anatole Khalfine and Ed Troyan University of Geneva, 24 Rue de General-Dufour, Geneva, GE-1211, Academy for Management of Innovations, 16a Novobasmannaya Street, Moscow, 107078 e-mail: [email protected] July 7, 2021 Abstract Byzantine chess is the variant of chess played on the circular board. In the Byzantine Empire of 11-15 CE it was known in two versions: the regular and the symmetric version. The difference between them: in the latter version the white queen is placed on dark square. However, the computer analysis reveals the effect of this ’perturbation’ as well as the basis of the best winning strategy in both versions. arXiv:math/0701598v2 [math.HO] 4 Oct 2007 1 Introduction Byzantine chess [1], invented about 1000 year ago, is one of the most inter- esting variations of the original chess game Shatranj. It was very popular in Byzantium since 10 CE A.D. (and possible created there). Princess Anna Comnena [2] tells that the emperor Alexius Comnenus played ’Zatrikion’ - so Byzantine scholars called this game. Now it is known under the name of Byzantine chess. 1 Zatrikion or Byzantine chess is the first known attempt to play on the circular board instead of rectangular. The board is made up of four concentric rings with 16 squares (spaces) per ring giving a total of 64 - the same as in the standard 8x8 chessboard. It also contains the same pieces as its parent game - most of the pieces having almost the same moves. In other words divide the normal chessboard in two halves and make a closed round strip [1].

    Chapter 24 Cylindrical, toroidal, and spherical boards [The boards in this chapter occupy a half-way house between two-dimensional and three- dimensional boards, being two-dimensional in nature but needing to be bent around in a third dimension if they are to be accurately realised.
