Definitions

• the group of inventions relates to the field of board chess games, namely, to a device for playing spatial two-level military chess and to a method of this game.
• Patent RU 2123371 describes a method of playing chess and a device for its implementation.
• the aforementioned known method of playing military chess consists in placing on the playing field with a chess surface figures reflecting the participants of a modern battle, and in moving the figures in accordance with the rules of the game, while figures reflecting ground or naval forces are moved only in their playing layer without transition to a neighboring one, figures reflecting military aircraft or any other aircraft are moved in their game layer and transferred to layers occupied by ground or naval forces, and returned back from battle m or without a fight, i.e.
• the specified method is taken as the closest analogue of the proposed.
• the aforementioned known device for playing military chess comprises a playing field with a chess surface and figures of two players differing in color.
• the playing field is rotatable, has a multi-faceted checkerboard surface and contains two game layers, each of which consists of parallel game faces displaced relative to each other in the same direction along the axis perpendicular to the faces, the width of one cell.
• the projection of parallel game faces onto a plane parallel to them is a plane consisting of 64 light and dark cells, the colors of which are different in different game layers, the figures of both players being able to be fixed on the cells of the playing field and include 32 figures for each player reflecting various types of troops and differing in color.
• the known method and device allows the analysis of the game situation simultaneously on several game layers, however, the game turned out to be difficult to perceive, bulky and difficult due to the voluminous multifaceted element of the playing field, and the need to supply each figure and field with magnets to hold them on mutually perpendicular planes.
• US Pat. No. 1,418,409 describes a game comprising a playing field in the form of a chessboard with chips denoting land, naval and airborne combat equipment mounted on supports. Being on the playing field, the chip stand occupies the entire area of the playing field cage, while reducing the number of game situations.
• the proposed game meets the requirement of the integrity of its constituent components, corresponding to military themes and style.
• it is compact because the playing field is a folding card, and the stands forming the upper playing level are made collapsible, therefore, to create this level, it is not necessary to use bulky, including packaging structures.
• the game provides a large number of game situations that contribute to increasing its entertainment.
• the game of military chess contains a playing field in the form of a chessboard forming the lower game level, and game chips, some of which are made in the form of aircraft military equipment installed on the tool forming the upper game level, while the tool forming the upper game level, made in the form of removable stands for each game chip, made in the form of a model of aviation military equipment.
• the specified stand is made with the possibility of placing its base on the periphery of the cell lower level of the playing field.
• the stand is made of two collapsible elements: a U-shaped base and a stand, one end of which is made with the possibility of connection with the central part of the middle shelf of the base, and the other with a chip.
• the support in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, is made of a transparent polymeric material, but it can be made of any material suitable for these purposes, for example, of wood or metal.
• the chessboard is made in the form of a folding card and includes 64 dark and light cells.
• the game includes four different-colored complex of game chips for two players, each of which consists of 32 figures, of which 16 figures are made in the form of infantry soldiers and models of ground combat equipment, including headquarters, and 16 figures in the form of models of aviation military equipment .
• Game chips related to military aircraft included in one set, are made in the form of eight figures of helicopters, two heavy fighters, two fighters, two attack aircraft and two bombers.
• the other part of the game chips of one set is made in the form of models of ground combat equipment: two tanks, two armored personnel carriers, two self-propelled artillery and one rocket launcher.
• Part of the game chips included in the kit is made in the form of eight figures of infantry soldiers.
• One gaming chip, included in one set, is made in the form of a star with a flag symbolizing the headquarters.
• a method of playing military chess using the device described above is that on the playing field in the form of a chessboard, forming the lower game level, two different color sets of game pieces are placed, including models of ground combat equipment, infantry soldiers and figures in the form stars with flags symbolizing the headquarters, and above them on stands that form the upper game level, set two different-colored sets of game chips, including models of aviation military equipment, while the chips of the upper and lower level during the game move in accordance with the rules of classical chess, and when you hit the chips of the upper level on the chips of the lower level, the first are removed from the stands and installed in place of the latter.
• ground equipment chips can strike aircraft equipment chips only when the latter are removed from the stands and are on the cells of the lower game level. Chips of aviation equipment can be returned to the upper game level in any of the player's subsequent moves, if they were not destroyed during the attack by the chips of the enemy's ground equipment. At the same time, in the process of returning to the upper level, they can destroy enemy chips located at the upper level.
• Figures 1-6 show the chips included in the set of the lower game level; Fig.7-11 - chips included in the set of the upper game level; on Fig-game field of the lower level with its corresponding chips (view in axonometric view); on Fig-game field of the upper level with its corresponding chips (view in perspective view); in Fig.14 - the chip of the upper gaming level, located on the stand (view in perspective); in Fig.15-16 - stand disassembled.
• a set of chips of the lower game level consists of 16 one-color chips, including eight figures of infantry soldiers 1 corresponding to pawns shown in Figs. 1-6 in classical chess, models of two self-propelled artillery 2 (self-propelled guns) - rooks; two armored personnel carriers 3 (armored personnel carriers) - horses; two tanks 4 - elephants; one rocket launcher 5 (castle light reactive system - MLRS - the queen and one staff figure 6 (star with a flag) - the king.
• the playing field 12 consists of 64 dark and light, staggered cells, with the horizontal field designation of the field of letters of the Latin alphabet from A to H, and the vertical numbers from 1 to 8.
• ground forces and tactical aircraft supporting them are involved.
• the main participants in the ground forces are: infantry, armored personnel carriers, artillery, tanks, rocket launchers, etc.
• Tactical aircraft support the offensive or defense of ground forces, destroying enemy ground and air targets.
• the main participants of tactical aviation are: combat helicopters, bombers, attack aircraft, fighters and heavy fighters.
• An armored personnel carrier makes a move on G1-H2 (similar to a horse). 1 turn of the second player.
• the bomber goes A1-A4 (similar to a rook).
• the fighter goes D6-H2 - destroys the APC (the chip is removed from the game) the fighter is removed from the stand and put in place of the APC.
