Abstract: A chess game and method for opposed players includes a six-by-eight checkerboard-style game board, two sets of game pieces, each set including conventional chess pieces, e.g. a King, a Queen, a Bishop, a Rook, a Knight, and six Pawns, and a novel chess piece named the Lord. The Lord may be moved about the game board one square in any direction from its current square. A method is also disclosed wherein the chess game is played for a fixed duration of time, and points are awarded to the players based upon the number of game pieces remaining on the game board at the expiration of the allotted time. The player having the highest cumulative point total at the end of the game is then declared the winner. A method is also disclosed for adapting the chess game for play electronically, such as through a global network of computers.
