LOCKING CHESS. Play chess in a new way with pieces superimposing and moving over each other, special moves, strategies, tactics and checkmates! (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

In LOCKING CHESS it is still difficult to estimate the real power of the pieces because they all gained the ability to overlay, and this factor multiplies the strategic and tactical possibilities, accelerating the dynamics of chess unpredictably. However, when the pieces are in EQUAL overlay, they are like a single piece on the same square and both can be captured in a single move!

An approximate value would be: PAWN: 1.5 points BISHOP: 4 points KNIGHT: 5 points ROOK: 6 points QUEEN: 10 points KING: value to be calculated

Thanks, Mr. Reiniger. English is not my mother tongue, but I will follow your recommendations and simplify the rules descriptions for better understanding. Watching the LocKing Chess demo games available on the official website can also help.

P.S.: Maybe "overlaying" is better than superimposing... What do you think?
