Abstract

FIELD: games.

SUBSTANCE: in the proposed board each row is made up of four squares, each of which is unfolded in the plane of the board around its vertical axis passing through the square center by 45° so that the squares touch each other with corners, and each of the rows is set close to each other with a shift of all the even ones by one size, equal to half the diagonal of the square.

EFFECT: material is saved, the creation of each board row of four squares allows you to save the possibility of placing four draughtsmen on one line, but at the same time excluding the free four squares as unnecessary, not used during the draughts game, it is also possible to save the movement of the draughtsmen from the field to the field at an angle to the original row, as stipulated by the rules of the draughts game, and prepare them for a compact connection in one piece - a board for playing draughts.

Description

The present invention relates to the field of board games, in particular to boards for playing checkers, and can be used to play 64-cell checkers.

A chessboard is known on which drafts or other board games are played (see, for example, A.S. 1215728, USSR, 1982), which, by its purpose and the maximum number of identical features, is the closest technical solution (prototype) to the claimed object.

The well-known board for a board game contains 64 squares arranged in eight rows, each of which consists of eight squares.

A disadvantage of the known board is the unnecessary waste of material on those squares on which the pieces do not move when playing checkers (unlike chess, where each square of the field is used to pose a piece). Those. as it turns out, that drafts are played not on “their” board, but on chess. Therefore, the entertainment of the game of checkers and its originality are reduced, lost.

The aim of the invention is to eliminate the above disadvantages, i.e. saving material on the manufacture of the board (and this can be not only cardboard or plywood, but also ivory and other expensive materials) and increasing the entertainment and originality of the game of checkers.

To achieve this goal, in a known board, each row is composed of four squares, each of which is deployed in the plane of the board around its vertical axis passing through the center of the square of the axis by 45 ° so that the squares touch each other with corners, and each of the rows is mounted close to each other with the shift of all even by a size equal to half the diagonal of the square.

Drawing up each row of a board of four squares allows you to save the possibility of placing four checkers on one line (in each row), as stipulated by the rules of the game, but at the same time skip (exclude) free four squares (unnecessary, not used during the game of checkers).

The arrangement of four squares in each row, unfolded in the plane of the board around its vertical axis passing through the center of the square by 45 ° so that the squares touch each other only by angles, allows you to save the process of moving the pieces from field to field at an angle to the original row, as determined by the rules of the game into checkers, and prepare them for compact connection into one whole - a board for playing checkers.

Setting each of the rows close to each other with a shift of all the even ones by a size equal to half the diagonal of the square allows you to get a single whole - a board for playing checkers, but with 32 squares.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 is a general view of a board for playing checkers (top view).

The proposed board for playing checkers consists of eight rows of 1 (Fig. 1) squares 2. Each of the rows 1 is composed of four squares 2, each of which is rotated in the plane of the board around its axis 3 passing through the center of square 2 of the axis by 45 ° so that squares 2 touch each other only by angles 4, and each of rows 1 is installed close to each other with a shift of all even ones by a size equal to half the diagonal 5 of square 2.

On the proposed board, the game of checkers is carried out according to the same rules as on the chess board, but they go (move the checkers 6) not on the diagonals of the squares, but perpendicular to their sides. "Beat" checkers 6 as well.

On squares 2, Arabic numerals and Latin capital letters in the corners (as shown in the drawing) can be applied - these are the accepted notations on the boards for recording moves.

The proposed checkerboard has the following advantages:

1) Materials are saved;

2) Increases the entertainment of the game;

3) There is an opportunity to make checkers more beautiful by applying to them (with a color different from the color of the dividing lines) various drawings, signs and inscriptions;

4) You can especially highlight the "test" field color, hitting which, the checker becomes a lady;

5) There is an opportunity to develop the game, complicating the rules and changing the layout of the fields in accordance with this.

The proposed board for playing checkers is quite simple to manufacture, it will increase entertainment and give originality to the game.

Claims (1)

A board for playing checkers, consisting of eight rows of squares, characterized in that in order to save material on the manufacture of the board and increase the entertainment and originality of the game, each row is composed of four squares, each of which is deployed in the plane of the board around its vertical square passing through the center axis by 45 ° so that the squares touch each other only with angles, and each of the rows is installed close to each other with a shift of all even by a size equal to half the diagonal of the square.
