  Hi Vic,
  I used to play Chess at school about fifty years ago. I found it a fascinating game. Recently I began to think about redesigning the Chess board for the family environment. Using the conventional Chess boards in the first two games where four family members can play the conventional Chess game facing each other North and South and playing alongside each other. When the two winners from the first Chess games are decided. The winners will take the pieces that are left on the board. Place them on the new board in their special rank. The new board includes the two conventional boards plus two extra ranks. The final battle is played in an East and West direction. The new board I have designed under copyright has 144 squares and 18 ranks with incentives for any pawns that manage to reach their opponent's back rank. My idea was to try to interest new players in a game where a whole family of Mum, Dad. and two kids can play together in an evening. However, without changing the conventional Chess rules as they are. This game is designed to bring the family together and gain the interest of new players, young or old to progress from there. Which conventional Chess does not. NONE of the CHESS rules as to piece moves, have been changed, either in the conventional games or in the final battle games... Except the final battle has an extra two ranks of pieces, one to each side, 144 squares to play in. Each square with its own number like in conventional Chess... As a chess player. what do you think, has it got possibilities? John.
