MiniChess
-
Version
2.0.8
This is game in a chess on a tiny board (6 x 6) by the
simplified rules. At the start of the game some pieces
are set down in the horizontal row of squares, nearest
each player. The pieces are divided into two matching
sets, by convention called white and black. The
players alternate moving one piece of their own at a
time. Each piece moves according to specific rules and
is removed from the board when an opposing piece moves
into its square, thus displacing it. The object in
game is to trap, or checkmate, the opponent's king.
MiniChess do not have to end in checkmate - either
player may resign if the situation looks hopeless.
Games also may end in a draw. A draw can occur in
several situations, including draw by agreement,
stalemate, threefold repetition of a position, the 50
move rule, or a draw by impossibility of checkmate
(usually because of insufficient material to
checkmate).
