'''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]]. |
