Chesquerque (original) (raw)
Chesquerque is a chess variant invented by George R. Dekle Sr. in 1986. The game is played on a board composed of four Alquerque boards combined into a square. Like Alquerque, pieces are positioned on points of intersection and make their moves along marked lines (similarly to xiangqi); as such, the board comprises a 9×9 grid with 81 positions (points) that pieces can move to. Chesquerque was included in World Game Review No. 10 edited by Michael Keller.

| dbp:caption | The white pawn on h6 can move one step straight forward , or capture diagonally forward . The pawn on b5 has no diagonal options; hence, it moves and captures one step forward . The same applies to White's pawns on f2 and c2 respectively; plus, those pawns have initial two-step options . If Black's pawn on g8 advances, White can capture it en passant: 1... g6 2. hxg7 e.p.. In the diagram, White has castled "archbishop-side" , while Black has castled queenside . (en) The white rook on c3 can move one step diagonally in addition to moving on orthogonal lines . The black rook on f7 has no diagonal step available, but can move on orthogonal lines . The white bishop on f3 has no diagonal moves, but can move one step orthogonally . The black bishop on c7 can move one step orthogonally in addition to moving on diagonal lines . (en) The white knight on c4 can move to any green dot, but cannot move to red dots near the rook, since the rook blocks those moves. The black knight on g7 is under attack and can retreat safely to any blue dot, but cannot move to red dots near the pawn, since the pawn blocks those moves. (en) |
