Corner Chess 10 x 10

Corner Chess 10 x 10 has several remarkable qualities:

• No rules are different from standard chess.
• Each player begins with 19 pieces- 8 bishops, 8 rooks, 2 queens, 1 king.
• No pawns or knights are used.
• Development is faster, more dangerous, less tedious than with standard chess.
• The theoretical depth is NOT disappointing.
• The opening setup has perfect, bilateral symmetry.

Game stability and a very small first-move advantage are assured due to:

• An opening setup where no captures are possible upon the first move.
• An opening setup where the kings are very well protected.

Corner Chess 10 x 10 is ready to be played, analyzed, enjoyed against computer and/or human opponents.

• "Zillions Of Games 1.X" allows the opening setup to be played directly as a game.
• Four standard chess sets are required to physically own a Corner Chess 10 x 10 set (except the board).
