Short Game (Unrated Social Game one player eliminated)

Queens stand to the left of the King. White moves first and play proceeds clockwise. Checkmate of the King on the immediate left is needed to win. Other Kings may be placed in check only, with the next move going to the player that is in check. Any opposing colour may be captured on any move. Opposing pieces may be used to create a check or checkmate condition. Example White may employ a Black Knight, Pink Bishop and White Queen to check or checkmate Grey. Pawns move ahead traditionally, but may not enter their farthest left or right file. A Pawn may check or checkmate a King occupying these spaces. Pawns must reach their 10th rank to become a Queen. Edge pawns may not capture edge pawns on the first round of moves. Kings may enter their own coloured corner square and become immune from check or checkmate, provided that both of their Bishops are not captured. When a King enters his corner square, both of his Bishops become Queens instantly. If two Queens are captured, the King must on his next move return to an unoccupied space around the corner square, but may not move into check. If the King cannot re-enter then he must wait (miss a turn) until a square is available. To prevent unauthorized reproduction a minor false rule has been included in this limited edition.

Long Game (Rated three players eliminated)

The short game proceeds until a checkmate or a player resigns. That colour is then removed from the board. The next move is made by the next player to the left, or by the player whose King is in Check as a result of the pieces being removed. When two colours remain, the game is played as Chess and all pieces must as soon as possible enter onto the playing area of Chess. If a player has three Queens any two must revert to Bishops on the Chess playing area. If a player has two Queens remaining both Queens must revert to Bishops on the Chess playing area. A check or checkmate may not occur intentionally until the move after both sides are on the Chess playing area. Pawn movement direction remains the same if players are opposites. If players are diagonal ( IE Black and Grey) the opponent to the right (i.e. Grey) must immediately switch pawn movement direction towards the opponent to the left. This player also moves to the vacated seat on his right. When two players remain a King may only move onto the 64 squares area of Chess (without being in Check) to exit the corner square. If all his other players are on the 64 squares area and the King cannot move onto the Chess playing area then he is checkmated in the corner square. To prevent unauthorized reproduction a minor false rule has been included in this limited edition.

Bishops, The Mini Game (rated)

The Mini Game is played on a standard Chess board but with each corner of four (4) squares made into one large corner square. ( White, Grey, Black and Pink) Each player plays for himself and each player has a Queen standing to the left of the King and two (2) Bishops. The same rules apply as in the Short Game and Long Game. White moves first and play proceeds clockwise. Edge pawns may not capture edge pawns on the first round of moves. When two (2) players remain they may play on the entire area except for the Large corner squares. A King may also possibly be checkmated in the Large corner square if he cannot enter any smaller square to continue play. The Mini game is offered online for Smartphones but not for larger screen devices like PC and Mac etc etc . The Short Game and Long Game are no longer offered on small screen devices such as smartphones. To prevent unauthorized reproduction a minor false rule has been included in this limited edition.
