Description

The invention relates to the field of board chess games, and in particular to a device for playing spatial two-tier military chess.

Classic chess was created as a reflection of a real battle on a flat chessboard.

The armaments and types of troops corresponding to that time — foot soldiers (infantrymen), cavalry, elephants, etc., were transformed on a chessboard into pawns, horses, elephants, rooks, etc. In those days, the participants of the land battle moved only on the ground, they could not fly, so it is natural that the classic game chess board is two-dimensional.

Known methods of playing spatial chess, in which chess pieces are moved in the playing field, consisting of several game layers arranged parallel to one another. Kings are moved in all directions to one cell, both inside one layer, and with a transition to another (lower or upper) layer, the queen in all directions of the king’s movement, but to any number of cells, a horse, in a L-shaped move, inside one layer or with the transition to one or two adjacent game layers. The remaining spatial chess pieces are moved in the same way. The disadvantage of this method is the decrease in amusement due to the inability to analyze the general game situation, because game layers overlap each other, and it is necessary to extend the game layers to conduct a situation analysis.

Patent RU 2123371 describes a device for playing chess.

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 multifaceted 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 device allows you to analyze 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 game 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.

Closest to the proposed design is a war game described in US Pat. No. 1,877,154. It contains chess playing fields of two parallel levels. Regular chess pieces are placed on the lower playing field, and pieces in the form of various airplanes are on the upper playing field. The upper playing field is mounted on the lower one using four support legs located on opposite edges of the field. This game creates more game situations than the game according to US Pat. No. 1,418,409, however it is also cumbersome and chess pieces destroy the impression of a war game. In addition, the lower level figures are difficult to move.

The proposed game meets the requirement of the integrity of its constituent components, corresponding to military themes and style. In addition, it is compact because the playing field is a folding card, and the supports forming the top level of the game are made collapsible, therefore, to create this level does not require the involvement of bulky, including packaging, structures. At the same time, the game provides a large number of game situations that contribute to increasing its entertainment.

The above advantages that make up the technical result of the invention are achieved by the following set of features.

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.

The game of military chess consists in the fact that two different-colored sets of game pieces, including models of ground combat equipment, infantry soldiers and figures in the form of stars with flags symbolizing the headquarters, are placed on the playing field in the form of a chessboard, forming the lower game level and above them on the coasters forming the upper game level, two sets of game chips, including models of aviation military equipment, are installed that are different in color, while the chips of the upper and lower levels are moved in accordance with the game in accordance with the rules of classical chess, and when hitting the chips of the upper level on the chips of the lower level, the former are removed from the stands and put in place of the latter.

The rules of classical chess have been worked out for a long time and showed their viability when playing on a two-dimensional black-and-white 64-cell board, therefore, such a system of moving pieces and game rules were adopted for playing inside each game level in the proposed solution.

In modern ground combat, tactical aviation destroys ground targets, and ground forces destroy enemy planes and helicopters, so when these actions are reflected at both levels of the playing field, a system for moving figures from one game level to another and vice versa is developed taking into account the differences and features of these figures.

According to the proposed game, 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.

Moreover, in the process of returning to the upper level, they can destroy enemy chips located at the upper level.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where:

1-6 depict chips included in the set of the lower game level;

7-11 - chips included in the set of the upper game level;

in Fig.12 - the playing field of the lower level with its corresponding chips (view in axonometric view);

in Fig.13 - the playing 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);

on Fig.16-16 - stand disassembled.

Each player has 32 game pieces at their disposal, which reflect different types of troops and differ in color in different game levels, 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. 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 missile launcher 5 (reactive castle fire system - MLRS) - the queen and one figure of headquarters 6 (a star with a flag) - the king.

Above the set of chips of the lower game level, painted in the same color, on the stands set of chips of the upper game level, also consisting of 16 chips, painted in a single color and including eight helicopters 7 shown in Figs. 7-11, corresponding to pawns in classical chess, two pieces of 8 strategic bombers - rooks; two figures of attack aircraft 9 - horses; two figures of fighter 10 - elephants and two figures of heavy fighter 11 - queen and 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.

The chips of both players, like classic chess, are placed at the beginning of the game in the first two rows on opposite sides of the field, while the bases (supporting parts) of the supports of the upper level chips cover the lower level cells (Fig. 13), on which the corresponding chips of the ground combat equipment are placed , infantry soldiers and headquarters (Fig. 12).

Each stand 13 for each model of aviation military equipment (Fig. 14) is made collapsible and consists of a base 14 (Fig. 15), which, in the preferred embodiment of the game, has a U-shape and a stepped recess 15 made in the central (middle) part horizontal shelf base 14 for connection with a reciprocal shape of the recess 15 of the mounting part 16 (Fig.16) arcuate rack 17, at the other end of which is formed a protrusion 18, designed to connect with a socket (not shown) formed in the lower part of the figure of the aviation model .

In modern ground combat, 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.

Associating the main participants of modern land and air battles with chess pieces, the applicant proceeded from the importance of firepower and the nature of the behavior of this “combat unit” in modern combat, and depending on its combat qualities endowed it with a certain system of movements and game rules, as is done in classic chess.

In the proposed game, there is the following system of moving chips in the playing field of two levels. The pieces in the form of figures of headquarters 6, like the king in classical chess, are moved in all directions by one square at the lower game level. A chip in the form of a model of a lower-level rocket launcher 5 and two chips in the form of models of heavy fighters of the upper level 11, like a queen, are moved in all directions to any number of cells. Two chips in the form of models of tanks 4 of the lower level and two chips in the form of models of fighters 10 of the upper level, like an elephant, are moved diagonally to any number of cells. Two chips in the form of models of armored personnel carriers 3 of the lower level and two chips in the form of models of attack aircraft 9 of the upper level, like a horse, are moved with the letter "G". Two chips in the form of models of self-propelled artillery mounts 2 of the lower level and two chips in the form of models of bombers of the 8 upper level, like a boat, are moved one square forward, backward and to the sides.
