QUAD KINGDOM CHESS

Standard rules of Chess apply for piece set-up, movement, and capture. Two additional rows, "Kingdoms," are added to each side of a standard chessboard to accommodate the starting positions of the four Kingdoms. These Kingdoms may be used by all players to maneuver, capture and checkmate in each Option of play. Each Kingdom is flanked to its left and right by "Towers," which exclude play across diagonally adjacent playing positions at each indented corner. Six rows in front of each Kingdom is a line of Pawn Promotion which is marked by corresponding colored lines with flags at each end. Once a Pawn has moved to the designated line of Pawn Promotion, not over, it is promoted to another piece. The entire board is used for battle.
