The best place to put content about Embassy chess is probably on the Grand Chess page, since Embassy chess is Grand Chess on an 8x10 board with castling and unlimited pawn promotion restored. Tag: Redirect target changed |

'''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 10×8 board. Embassy chess is a non-commercial [[Capablanca random chess]] variant that is played on a 10×8 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 [[empress (chess)|marshall]] moves as both a [[rook (chess)|rook]] and a [[knight (chess)|knight]]. |
|||
* [[Image:Chess all44.png|Cardinal|30px]] The [[princess (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, such as ''[[en passant]]'', are the same as in [[chess]]. |
