Epic Chess
The thing was simple - to create a version of chess for a 10x10 board, but without involving fairy pieces. Standard chess pieces are self-sufficient and in most cases new lipers, riders and hoppers introduced into the game tend to bring disharmony to the chessboard. Yes, these figures are ideal for fairy compositions, but not for the vastness of the 10x10 board. After exchanges and going into the endgame, huge sections of the board are practically not used, turning the rich chess landscape into a lifeless desert dotted with gray bored cells.Setup
Pieces
On each side, 8 rooks, 8 bishops, 8 knights, 14 pawns, 1 queen and one king take part in the game.Rules
