Hi people,

Does anyone have the rules for Chess Empire?
I lost mine :(

To moderator.  Delete my previous message (I made an error).
Sorry.

Chess Empire is a new commercial four-player variant with extra rooks and
knights and with a new piece called the spy.  If I buy a set and describe
the rules on this website, can the proprietors sue me out of existence,
claiming that the game is their intellectual property and I have infringed
on their rights?  If not, will they try anyway, to make me a horrible
example?

http://www.chessvariants.org/index/external.php?itemid=CardinalSuperche

is an example of a typical chessvariants link to an external site. If a company does not wish to post rules on their web site, then it would be best if you refrained from posting them here.

If a company is actively marketing a chess variant, then it would be best to obtain permission from that company before posting a set of rules on this site. Another option is to simply post a review of the game, without including a comprehensive description of the rules. Posting a review generally does not require permission.

What's the spy?

I don't know, Mats; I haven't bought a set yet.
