'''Embassy chess''' is a chess variant created in 2005 by Kevin Hill. It borrows the opening setup from [[Grand chess]] by [[Christian Freeling]] and adapts it to the 10x8 board. |
|||
Embassy chess is a free, non-commercial [[Capablanca random chess]] variant that is played on a 10x8 board with two additional pawns per side and two [[fairy chess piece]]s: the ''marshall'' and the ''cardinal''.<ref>[http://brainking.com/en/GameRules?tp=41 Embassy chess rules] by Filip Rachunek.</ref> |
|||
* [[Image:Chess cll44.png|Marshall|30px]] The [[chancellor (chess)|marshall]] moves as both a [[rook (chess)|rook]] and a [[knight (chess)|knight]]. |
|||
* [[Image:Chess all44.png|Cardinal|30px]] The [[archbishop (chess)|cardinal]] moves as both a [[bishop (chess)|bishop]] and a [[knight (chess)|knight]]. |
|||
The castling in this chess variant is done by king moving 3 spaces in rook direction, see diagram at right. All other rules, like ''[[en passant]]'' are the same as in [[chess]]. |

==Computer implementations== |
|||
Embassy chess is supported by at least three multi-variant programs available in the chess variant world. It was selected as one out of seven 10x8 board games featured in [[SMIRF]] (developed by [[Reinhard Scharnagl]]). It was selected as one out of eleven 8x10 board games featured in [[ChessV]] (developed by Gregory Strong). In both programs, its opening setup can conveniently, automatically be loaded for play against a computer opponent. |
|||
It is also possible to play Embassy chess in [[Zillions of Games]] using a third-party rules file, such as [http://www.chessvariants.org/index/zillions.php?itemid=zLargeChess this one]. |
