Description

The invention relates to board intellectual games on the boards, namely to Alansky chess, which are intended for entertainment and development of logical and intuitive thinking at the same time for four players, and can be used for a wide range of chess game lovers, including for the development of mental abilities young lovers of intellectual games.

A device for playing the "Chernikov Chess" is known, according to the patent No. 2129897, IPC A63F 3/02, publ. 05/10/1999, which includes a board divided into rows of alternating light and dark cells, two identical sets of game pieces of different colors, symbolizing chess pieces, and a tool for choosing a game chip made of many polyhedra.

However, the well-known chess game is difficult to memorize polyhedra and in the choice of game options, in addition, the game is designed to play with only two players, which limits its gaming capabilities.

The closest technical solution to the claimed is a chess game "TRANSLEVELS" according to patent No. 2075991, IPC ⁶ A63A 3/02, publ. 03/27/1997, in which from two to four players can play simultaneously. The well-known game contains a game board consisting of a central part - one square field 8 × 8 cells in size, a total of 64 cells, and a peripheral (additional) part of four triangular fields, which contain figures of players and four sets of figures that differ in color when In this case, the shapes and colors of the shapes can be varied.

Similar features are the presence of a square-shaped game board, consisting of a central part in the form of a square game field of 64 black-and-white cells and additional (peripheral) game fields with figures.

However, the well-known analogue is not effective enough for four players and is difficult to understand, since the figures play on six levels and in their own "houses". In addition, triangular peripheral additional playing fields are not only inconvenient during the game, but also do not allow the use of a sufficient number of pieces for four players in the game, which reduces the gaming capabilities of well-known chess.

The technical task of the invention is to increase the entertaining game of the Alansky chess game due to the possibility of using reserve chess pieces and trophy pieces of the enemy, as well as the effectiveness of the game by expanding the gaming capabilities and increasing the duration of the game for one, two, three, four players on one chessboard.

The problem is solved by a new set of essential features that provide increased entertainment and game efficiency due to the fact that in a device including a chessboard consisting of a central square playing field of 64 black and white square cells and additional playing fields with figures located on them (similar signs with the closest analogue), new is that the chessboard is additionally equipped with reserve fields consisting of 16 square cells, forming four identical squares each traditional chess pieces of different colors located on them, four in each square reserve field, and additional playing fields are rectangular and consist of 128 square cells of 32 cells in four eight-cell rows of each additional playing field, while on the two extreme eight-cell rows of each of the additional playing field traditional chess pieces of different colors are located, and on the opposite side of the chess pieces each additional playing field of its extreme eighth the side of the square central playing field is attached with an extracellular side with the formation of 208 square cells expanded on four sides of a single playing field, cross-shaped, in the corner places of which, between each two additional playing fields with figures of different colors, two bicellular are placed close to them a row of the reserve field, and the color of the figures of each additional playing field coincides with the color of the figures adjacent to it on the right side of the reserve field, and between them are located the core numbers of each player playing the same color of chess pieces, the chessboard being divided by central lines, and the horizontal line forms the border for its pawn to cross its front with the possibility of exchanging this pawn for a queen, bishop, knight or rook, and along the perimeter of a square chessboard there is a frame on which the lettering of the vertical rows of square cells and the digital symbols of the rows of horizontal cells are applied, the number of which is set in accordance with the number of square cells of an expanded single playing field. There are sixteen figures on each additional playing field, and four figures for each player on each reserve field.

The invention is illustrated by the drawing, figure 1 shows the chess "Alansky" in general form, figure 2 - the same, in color. For a vivid visualization of the invention attached is his photograph in color.

Chess "Alansky" contains a square chessboard 1, consisting of a central square playing field 2 of 64 black and white square squares, four additional playing fields 3 with traditional chess pieces of different colors located on them and four reserve squares 4 consisting of 16 square cells, forming four identical squares, with traditional chess pieces of different colors located on them, four in each square reserve field 4.

Additional playing fields 3 are made in a rectangular shape and consist of 128 square cells of 32 cells in four eight-cell rows of each additional playing field 3.

On the two extreme eight-cell rows of each additional playing field 3 there are traditional chess pieces of different colors: black, light, brown and light brown, 16 pieces each, on the opposite side of the chess pieces, each additional playing field 3 is attached to its extreme eight-cell side to one of the sides of the square central playing field 2 with the formation of 208 square cells expanded on four sides of a single playing field 5 of a cross-shaped shape, in the corner places of which between each two additional game fields 2 with figures of different colors, two two-cell rows of the reserve field 4 are placed adjacent to them, and the color of the figures of each additional game field 3 coincides with the color of the figures adjacent to it on the right side of the reserve field 4. Between additional 3 and reserve field 4 with the same color of the figures contains the serial numbers of each player playing the same color of chess pieces. So, on the right side of each additional playing field 3 is the player’s position, expressed by numbers 1,2,3,4 and explaining what color of the chess pieces each of the four players plays:

- the number 1 indicates the player playing with white pieces;

- number 2 - a player playing with light brown pieces;

- number 3 - a player playing with black pieces;

- number 4 - a player playing with brown pieces.

On each additional playing field 3 there are sixteen traditional chess pieces (or 64 additional chess pieces on all additional fields), on each reserve field 4 there are four traditional chess pieces for each player (or 16 pieces on all reserve fields).

Chessboard 1 is divided by central lines: vertical 6 and horizontal 7, the latter forms a border for the frontal intersection of its pawn with the possibility of exchanging this pawn for a queen, bishop, knight or rook. In addition, the vertical 6 and horizontal 7 lines chess pieces on each additional playing field 3 are divided into two groups, one group consists of a rook, knight, elephant, queen and four pawns, the other group consists of a king, elephant, knight, rook and four pawns.

The chess pieces of each reserve field 4 consist of two elephants, a rook and a horse.

A frame 8 is located around the perimeter of the square chessboard 1, on which are written the lettering of the vertical rows of square cells (AP) and the digital symbols of the horizontal rows of square cells (1-16), the number of which is set in accordance with the number of square cells of the expanded single playing field 5.

The game of Alansky chess is carried out on the basis of the conditions (rules) of its game, in which two, three or four players can participate at the same time.

The goal of the Alansky chess game is that each player seeks to bring down a sufficient number of “opponent” pieces and declare “checkmate” to the king or kings of the “opponent”.

The game is held by prior arrangement, on the principle: “everyone against all” or “two against two”, with the players pre-drawing the lots by which they occupy positions 1, 2, 3, 4.

In the proposed Alansky chess, all chess pieces, with the exception of reserve pieces (two bishops, rooks and a knight), are moved by players on the square squares of the expanded single playing field 5, but they do not move on squares of the reserve fields 4. Pawns and kings are not reserve pieces , and therefore, during the game they are not located in the reserve fields 4.

At the beginning of the game, the reserve pieces are located on their reserve fields 4, and during the game, each player can, if he wishes, leave one of the pieces from his reserve field 4 to any free cell of the extended playing field 5 as a next move.

Each player at the initial moment of the game walks only with pieces of his own color, for example, white, located on one of four additional playing fields 3 and one reserve field 4, adjacent to the right side of the additional playing field 3, and with figures of the same color. To enter any reserve piece into the game, the player advances this piece from the reserve field 4 to the expanded single playing field 5, however, in this case, the figure put forward by him cannot knock down figures in the expanded single playing field 5, but may declare “check” and “ checkmate to the "opponent" king. Only at the next next turn of the player put forward by the player on the extended single playing field 5, this reserve piece can knock down the pieces placed on this field.

Each player, during the game, can repeatedly, in the order of the next move, withdraw his pieces from the extended unified playing field 5 to his reserve field 4: a rook, a horse and an elephant, who have made at least one move, then enter them into the game again. Also, during the game, by moving the pawn to the central horizontal line 7 and crossing this line frontally, the player can optionally replace this pawn with one of the four main figures: the queen, rook, bishop or knight, since the frontal intersection of the horizontal line is 7 with the pawn gives the player the right to change the pawn to the queen, bishop, knight or rook, at his discretion, based on the game situation.

When declaring “check”, the situation “checkmate” occurs only after the next right comes for the move of the player who was declared “check”. This is due to the fact that intermediate players with their subsequent moves can exclude the situation “mate”.

During the game, the player who declares the last “checkmate” to the last king of “opponents” remaining in the expanded unified playing field 5 wins (in the game “each for himself”) or the pair of players who consistently declares the “checkmate” to one, then wins another player from the opposing team.

Moreover, the figures of the player whose king is declared “mate” become trophy figures of the player who declared “mate” both from the playing field and from the reserve field, while the player who declares the “mate” continues to play these captured figures as his own, however he does not have the right to make an extra move, which the pieces of the “enemy” possessed.

In the case of a game of four players, the latter, if desired, can be combined into two opposing pairs, in this case, the task of each of the pair of players is to beat each of the opposing pairs and ultimately declare their kings “checkmate”. During the “pair by pair” game, each player has the right to take pieces not only of opponents, but also his teammate, at the same time they do not create “beaten fields”, “check” or “checkmate” situations, on the contrary, the queen or another other figure of one player can tightly cover the king's partner from the situation of "check" or "checkmate" of the opposite side.

During the game, players can record the progress of each of their figures using the numbers (1-16) and the letter designation (AR) on frame 8.

To record the moves of the main figures, the conditional letter designations of these figures are introduced:

- King - Kr

- Queen - F

- Rook - L

- Elephant - C

- Horse - K

- Pawn - P

So, for example: the first move of the white pawn standing at the intersection of the vertical row of H cells and the horizontal row of 2 cells, the player occupying position 1 writes this move as follows: 1.1Н 2 - Н4 (when playing traditional chess, this move corresponds to E 2 - E 4).

After each game, the chessboard 1 is rotated clockwise so that the following players, in order of priority, are entitled to play pieces of a different color.

The proposed Alansky chess, in comparison with its well-known counterparts, is unique not only in its convenient location and colorful execution of chess pieces on the expanded single playing field and reserve fields, but also have technical advantages compared to well-known chess and intellectual games on them:

- Increased entertaining game is ensured due to the fact that each player has additional pieces on reserve fields and has the ability to use trophy figures of the “opponent” as his pieces;

- the effectiveness of the game is increased through the use of reserve fields, which, combined with an expanded single playing field of 208 square cells, can increase the duration of the game, while ensuring the dynamism of a chess game and the need for a more flexible combination of tactical and strategic abilities of players;

- the potential capabilities of the players are radically changed and expanded, the opportunity arises to play combinations of the game more sophisticatedly and deeply, which in turn creates an interesting and complex game situation that requires more flexibility of mind and resourcefulness from the players, thereby developing interest in chess creativity, especially among young lovers of intellectual games.

The invention proposed for patenting - chess "Alansky" provides a number of new potential gaming opportunities, for example, a deeper approximation of the game with the real conditions of "combat battles", the possibility of withdrawing certain forces from the "fighting" positions and in order to return them to the reserve at the right time them on the "battlefield", etc. etc.

In addition, a chessboard can be used to play checkers, divided into teams.

According to the author-applicant, the proposed Alansky chess invention is patentable, as it meets the criteria of the invention: novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability.

The name of the invention of chess “Alansky” is associated with the historical name of Ossetian statehood - “Alania”, the birthplace of the author-applicant.

Currently, the Alansky chess has aroused interest among fans of intellectual games, and therefore the invention must be protected with a patent.
