Chess has captured the world for centuries and has fascinated some of the most intellectual and influential people on the planet. The beauty of the game is that two people young or old can totally immerse themselves in mental combat and forget the day to day issues we all invariably encounter. There are countless books written on the subject aswell as some beautifully designed and imaginative sets. Below is just a small example. |

Jumping Chess is a Chess Variant where captures, instead of being by replacement, are made by jumping over a piece, as in Checkers/Draughts. The standard orthodox chess array is used, but in order to avoid uncapturable pieces at the edge of the board, two extra ranks and two extra files of edge squares are added. These edge squares can only be entered as the result of a capturing jump, and pieces sitting on them are obliged to capture if possible.
Here’s a game we prepared earlier. |

Then just when you thought like the Doctor that you had saved the world the rules of the game can suddenly change……... |
