Expanded Chess appletby Daniel ZachariasRule reminderPawns reaching the 10th rank automatically promote to Queen. Upon reaching 9th rank they can optionally promote to Rook or Gryphon. Upon reaching 8th rank they can optionally promote to Knight, Bishop, Zebra or Osprey. The King moves 3 squares in the direction of the Rook it castles with. On King-side castling this means it ends up where the Rook started! |
For playing through the sample game discussed in the book, go to the game viewer.
The Gryphon is the only unorthodox piece that can force checkmate on a bare king. You can practice checkmating with it on the 10x10 board here.
