During the game of “Battle chess”, a positional struggle of pieces takes place on the device for each player to master his set of pieces of eight horizontal rows of the playing field (from 9 to 2 or from 2 to 9 horizontal rows) according to the rules of the game based on classical chess movements and knocking out of pieces .

Description

The utility model relates to gaming devices, in particular for playing chess and checkers, can be widely used in competitive games and for the development of people's mental abilities.

Known close analogues of the device are variants of devices for holding games such as checkers, chess and "Chess hockey" (RU, application, 94027119, class A 63 F 3/02).

The game device for checkers contains a board having alternating fields of two colors (usually white and black) in the form of cells that form vertical and horizontal rows, and two identical sets of game pieces consisting of identical checkers, the sets being made in different colors, and the fields are large enough to place the indicated figures on them (see Children's Encyclopedia. T.7 - M .: Pedagogy, 1975. S.416-419.).

Game devices for checkers allow for fairly simple games, but due to the presence of only identical game pieces in design, they have limited possibilities for tactics in games compared to devices for playing chess games, which limits game opportunities and, accordingly, reduces interest in them.

The chess game device, as well as the checker device, contains a board having alternating fields of two colors in the form of cells that form vertical and horizontal rows, and two identical sets of game pieces, the fields being sized enough to accommodate game pieces, the sets are made in different colors, and some of the pieces in each set (unlike checkers) are different in design from others (see Capablanca H.R. Chess game textbook - M.: Physical education and sports, 1975. P. 14.), which expands opportunities for tactics but t It takes from the participants sometimes a lengthy painstaking analysis of game situations for the next move in the game. A drawback of chess is that players need a certain degree of preparedness and skill to win, and the tactical decisions made by the players in the early stages of the game process determine the further course of the game, thereby reducing the entertainment and interest in its course. These shortcomings significantly limit the circle of consumers of such devices.

These devices attract the attention of a wide range of people, often accompany leisure time during leisure, on long trips, as well as

allow organizing championships and competitions in widespread and well-known chess and checkers games.

Such devices for playing chess and checkers do not allow dynamic games to be carried out, sometimes it takes a lot of time to carry out the next stage when playing games on them, there are no elements of random events during the game process, which limits the range of consumers of these devices in comparison with more dynamic and gambling devices.

In one of the known devices adopted for the prototype of the Battle Chess, Chess Hockey gaming device (RU, application, 94027119, class A 63 F 3/02), there is a board with alternating fields of two colors that form vertical and horizontal rows, two identical sets of figures, and there is an additional figure (washer), the board has seven vertical and nine horizontal rows of square cells with dimensions sufficient to accommodate the figures, the sets are made in different colors - interest in the device increases due to greater dynamism and a lot of options the fact that the game process is carried out on it thanks to the special layout of the playing field and options for the execution of sets of game figures. This device, due to the proposed improvements, is able to attract a wider circle of consumers.

The following prototype has the following common features with the claimed prototype in the Battle Chess gaming device:

1. Chess "Battle chess", containing a board having alternating fields in the form of cells of two colors, forming vertical and horizontal rows, with a central horizontal row 5;

2. each square square in the "Battle Chess" has dimensions sufficient for placement within the contour of one game piece;

3. The Battle Chess device has the common fact that each set of pieces consists of two rooks, two horses, two elephants and one queen.

However, in the process of playing the game on the previously proposed “Chess Hockey” device, due to its not intended for occurrence of random elements during the game, users do not have more excitement due to the complete predictability of possible game situations, which, like early analogues, can significantly limit circle of interested persons.

The objective of the utility model is to expand the circle of consumers of the proposed device by increasing interest in a game such as chess, checkers, "Chess hockey", "Battle chess" and its entertainment, by means of the special design of the game board

and game figures to create the ability to quickly and correctly evaluate game situations and enhance the dynamism and excitement of the game process.

The technical result achieved due to the design of the Battle Chess device consists in combining elements of tactics and excitement during the dynamic gameplay on it, due to the possibility of occurrence of (random) game situations that are difficult for users to predict and expanding the possibilities for tactics , including previously proposed in the designs of devices, analogues, and methods of their use, options for achieving tactful gameplay on them, which, in turn, can cause increased interest among users of the proposed device.

The claimed result is achieved by the fact that the device has complete sets of chess pieces (eight pawns, two knights, two rooks, two bishops, one king and one queen), which are made in the form of identical pieces and can have the same or different weight, the board has eight vertical and nine horizontal rows, and in the course of the gameplay there is an opportunity to carry out two types of moves: a blow made by the player by giving the figure an instant impulse with its further transfer to the others encountered in the way of FIG. Uram, due to which after each such strike a somewhat difficult to predict situation is created, which, in turn, introduces elements of excitement and additional opportunities for the player’s tactics and defensive move, similar to the chess move for the selected piece, which also adds tact gameplay. These features allow players, according to the ideas about the features of the movement of the pieces upon impact, depending on the strength, direction, weight, as well as the classical movements of each chess piece, on the field with a permanent one, according to the rules of the game, due to the introduction of an additional horizontal row in the design of the game board devices, dividing lines, plan tactics and determine the impact force of the selected piece during the next move, analyzing the random games that have developed on the playing field within certain limits The main situation after the previous game moves.

The indicated design features of the Battle Chess gaming device, which allow achieving the stated result, are, in turn, new compared to the prototype.

The design of the utility model and the rules for its use are illustrated by the drawings:

The gaming device "Battle chess" (figure 1) contains alternating fields forming vertical rows a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h and horizontal rows with serial numbers from 1 to 9, located on the board 10 alternating fields 11 and 12 differ from each other in color, on board 10 there are also thirty-two game pieces of the same shape and size (FIGS. 2 and 3), having one chessboard image on the top and forming two sets of sixteen identical in terms of chessboard images game figures, moreover, the membership of the game nevermind s to one set or another is determined by the main color of the piece, - two white rooks 13 and two black rooks 14, two white knights 15 and two black knights 16, two white elephants 17 and two black an elephant 18, one white queen 19 and one black queen 20, one white king 21 and one black king 22, eight white pawns 23 and eight black pawns 24 - game pieces can to have the same or different weight due to the presence on the lower end of each game piece with a chess image of a rook, horse, elephant, queen or king of an axial blind threaded connection (Fig. 3), in which, depending on the chess image in the figure, a threaded plug 25 of a certain mass is installed, so that the pawns are the lightest pieces, and the king is the heaviest piece; each set has eight threaded plugs: two threaded plugs for rooks weighing 0.2 (or 0.25) by weight

pawns two threaded plugs for horses weighing 0.4 (or 0.5) by weight of the pawn; two threaded plugs for bishops weighing 0.6 (or 0.75) by weight of the pawn; a threaded plug for the queen weighing 0.8 (or 1.0) of the mass of the pawn; threaded plug for the king weighing 1.0 (or 1.25) of the mass of the pawn.

New in the design of the Battle Chess gaming device is:

1. there is a vertical row h (figure 1);

2. each set of pieces consists of two rooks, two horses, two elephants, one queen, a king and eight pawns (figure 1);

3. the pieces in each set have the same size and shape (figures 2 and 3), are provided with the image of chess pieces, have the same or different weight due to the presence of a rook, knight, elephant, queen or the king of the axial blind threaded connection (Fig. 3), in which, depending on the chess image in the figure, a threaded plug 25 of a certain mass is installed, so that the pawns are the lightest pieces, and the king is the heaviest piece; each set has eight threaded caps: two threaded caps for rooks weighing 0.2 (or 0.25) of the mass of the pawn; two threaded plugs for horses weighing 0.4 (or 0.5) by weight of the pawn; two threaded plugs for bishops weighing 0.6 (or 0.75) by weight of the pawn; a threaded plug for the queen weighing 0.8 (or 1.0) of the mass of the pawn; threaded plug for the king weighing 1.0 (or 1.25) of the mass of the pawn.

The Battle Chess gaming device is intended primarily for holding the Battle Chess game and its variant when abbreviated sets of pieces consisting of eight pawns are used.

Players during the Battle Chess game can play two types of moves: a strike and a defensive move. When hitting, the player can hit the figure with one of the fingers of the hand, while the checker that receives the impulse bounces in the direction specified by the player, which can lead to a change in the position of the game pieces on the field. To carry out a defensive move, the base cells of the figure selected for the move are determined. Basic cells are those cells whose contours after the previous moves are crossed by the selected figure or within whose contour it is located. For example, in the situation shown in Fig. 1, one cell acts as a base for each figure, and in the situation in Fig. 4, cells 26: c5, d6 and d6 are considered to be the base cells for the white horse 15 piece. The number of base cells for the figures on the playing field can be one, two, three and four. After determining the base, cells, the player can make a defensive move for the selected

pieces, skipping over other pieces and reproducing the trajectory of movement of a classic chess piece. The defensive move begins with any of the base cells and ends so that in the final cell of the move the figure fully fits into its outline. In the absence of such cells, the player cannot make a defensive move with this piece. For example, in figure 4, for the “white” horse 15 with the base cells c5, d6 and d5, the permissible end cells are shown: when choosing the base cell c5, the final cells that are valid for the move are cells 27, - a4, a6, b3, b7, d7 and e4, when choosing d5 as the base cell, cells 28, - b4, b6, c3, c7, e3, e7, f4 and f6, - d6 cells - cells 29, - b5, b7, c4, e4, e8 and f5. At the same time (Fig. 4), cells 30: d3 and e6 are unacceptable with the base cell c5, c8 and f7 with the base cell d6. If there are no figures behind the dividing line 31 on the part of the player making defensive moves, then they can be carried out only on the field to the row occupied by the dividing line, in the opposite case - throughout the playing field.

The game "Battle Chess" consists of several game periods. At the beginning of each game period, the boundaries of the fields for the initial arrangement of the figures of each player are determined, as they are certain numbers of consecutive extreme horizontal rows. Each game period ends when all the figures of one of the players are removed from the game field. Victory is awarded to the player who, after the end of the playing period, has left at least one piece of his set on the playing field. The winning player in the next game period gets the opportunity to initially arrange his pieces on the field from the extreme horizontal rows in an amount greater than one next horizontal row, located towards the losing player, at the last border of the field for the initial placement they do not increase.

The dividing line during each game period coincides with the position of one of the horizontal rows. The position of the dividing line coincides with the position of the fifth horizontal row until the moment when the boundaries of the field for the initial arrangement of the figures of the set of one of the players do not reach the position of the adjacent horizontal row with a number of dividing lines. In the future, the boundaries of the field for the initial distribution of the figures of this player and the position of the horizontal row of the dividing line can be mixed if he wins one row towards the losing player at the beginning of the next game period. If the horizontal row of the dividing line in the next game period occupied the position of the only horizontal row that was not used for the initial arrangements of the game figures of the players, then, if one of the players wins, the expansion

the boundaries of its field for the initial arrangement of the figures and the accompanying confusion of the position of the separation line leads to a decrease in the boundaries of the field of the initial arrangement of the figures of the losing player in the next game period.

At the beginning of the Battle Chess game, players can arrange their pieces in the same way as in the classical version of chess (Fig. 1) or randomly in the fields of two extreme horizontal rows so that each piece fits into the contours of one cell, with the position of the separation line 31 coincides with the horizontal row 5. In the first game period, after determining the player who strikes first with one of his pieces, the other player can make several (recommended no more than four) defensive moves with his pieces, and also refuse the possibility of their implementation. Then the first player can make a hit and then the number of defensive moves taken, and the right to strike is transferred to the second player. The process is repeated until the figures of one of the players remain on the playing field. The victory at the end of the game period is awarded to the player who has at least one piece left on the playing field.

At the beginning of the second game period, the winning player can arrange his pieces already at the three extreme horizontal rows, and the loser - still only in two, the position of the dividing line in this case again coincides with the horizontal row 5. After the arrangement of all game figures, the next game period begins moreover, the right to inflict the first blow passes to the losing player, and the victorious party may make the accepted number of defensive moves within the field to the division line.

When the separation line is mixed to the penultimate row during the next victory of one of the players in the game period, the losing player can put out his pieces only on the last row from the side of the winning player, and the pawns in this arrangement are no longer used by the losing player, and the winner in the previous game period the player still sets up a complete set of figures. For example, figure 5 shows the arrangement of the pieces of the losing player, white pieces, when placing the separation line 31 on the second horizontal row, while the winning player, black pieces, randomly placed his set of pieces on the field to the separation line.

The game is played until the dividing line from one of the players, upon the next victory in the game period (the player who won the game), occupies the last horizontal row, thus depriving the losing player (player who lost the game) of placing their pieces.

The following additional rules are offered for the game "Battle chess":

1. within the game period, if a player loses the queen, this player can make only three defensive moves, and the king - two defensive moves;

2. when one of the player’s pawns falls outside the last horizontal line from the player’s side during a strike or defensive move, the player has the right to replace this pawn with any of the pieces lost by the player other than the pawn.

To determine the player who strikes first at the start of the game, two preliminary games can be organized. In the first preliminary game, one of the players makes only strokes all the time of the game, and each time with a piece still untapped for the blow, and the second only defensive (no more than four after each blow of the first player), in the second preliminary game, the right to strike is transferred to the second player. The separation line in preliminary games is located on the site of the horizontal row 5. Each of the preliminary games ends either in the absence of figures on the field previously not used by the player making the blows, or with the complete removal of all the figures of one of the sets. After the completion of each of the preliminary games, the number of figures of the first and second sets remaining on the field is calculated. According to the results of two such games, the right to inflict the first blow in the game is given to the player, the sum of the remaining pieces after the first and second preliminary which is greater than the other player’s similar result. For preliminary games, you can use a set of eight figures, as shown in Fig.6.

In addition to using the entire set of pieces, players can also use a smaller set of eight pawns, as shown in Fig. 7, while defensive moves can be played by pawns either according to the rules of the game “Battle chess” with a full set of pieces, or reproducing similar moves adopted in drafts, taking into account the fact that a pawn crossing the border of the last horizontal row from the side of the player who owns this piece becomes a dame, which can also be defended using the same rules as drafts. The purpose and other rules of the game are similar to the rules of the game above the described version of "Battle chess".

Thus, the goal of users of the Battle Chess gaming device when playing the Battle Chess game and its proposed modifications in each game period is to remove the opponent’s game pieces and save their pieces on the playing field.

When making the next move, each player evaluates the situation that has developed after the previous moves. When planning a move, the characteristics of each figure (its playing dignity and, in the case of execution of a gaming device with

game pieces of various masses, its mass, that is, inertia in the taking of a strike and its implementation), as well as their relative position. From a tactical point of view, a player making defensive moves can arrange his pieces in such a way that it is as difficult as possible for another player to remove the opponent’s pieces by transferring the received impulse to the figures of the defending player.

Due to the unlimited number of options for arranging the figures after one of the players has performed in a given direction and with a certain impact force and impulse transmission to other figures, the players each time have to deal with, within certain limits, a difficult to predict situation on the playing field of the device, which forces us to re-analyze the current situation and, thus, can cause a keen interest in the game from both the players and the audience, increasing the excitement of the gameplay on the device. The ability to master game pieces and evaluate the consequences of striking in a given direction with a certain force as clearly as possible can lead to a need for skill in handling pieces in a game of Battle Chess on a gaming device, which, in turn, causes the need for repeated access to the gaming device.

Thus, due to such a combination of tactics and excitement during the game process on the Battle Chess device, as well as its ease of use compared to well-known devices such as chess, checkers, Chess Hockey, the interest in using the device and the circle increase possible consumers.

Along with the preferred use of the Battle Chess device for playing Battle Chess, it allows you to play other games on it, such as chess, checkers, and Chess Hockey.
