Today we will tell you a little about a new kind of game for us. After the story, you will find information about registering for tournaments.
Makarenko chess is a type of classical chess game in which the cost and number of pieces vary. The game is played with stacked discs. Its invention is attributed to the Soviet teacher-reformer Anton Semenovich Makarenko, who was the head of the Gorky colony from 1920 to 1928.
Rules:
The game is mostly played according to the rules of traditional chess, with the same way of moving the pieces.
The special feature is that the disks and the small towers they form can be stacked on top of each other, thus creating new shapes. That is, if the rook moves to its bishop, then the 3+5 discs turn into a tower of 8 discs, the value of which is now the king.
You can only build from your own disks. Moving to the opponent’s piece is a traditional chess move. When attacking, the discs of the captured piece are removed from the board and can no longer be put into play.
The pieces always move according to the rule for their current value. So, in the example above, the rook should move like a rook, but the piece born as a result of the merger will move like a king.
During construction, an intermediate number of parts are laid. That is why the rule applies that although a pawn is equivalent to 1 piece, a rook requires 3 pieces, so two checkers on top of each other are still equivalent to a pawn. Similarly, a tower of 6 pieces is equivalent to a bishop of 5 pieces.
A tower with a height of more than 8 disks cannot be created.
The tower can not only be built, but also divided. That is, it is possible to move the discs removed from the tower in accordance with the way the figure is moved, which is represented by the number of discs moved. For example, 3 discs are removed from a 5-disc bishop, now representing a rook, and moved according to the rules for the rook. The 2 discs remaining on the starting field are considered a pawn.
There are no obstacles for partial movement of disks from one tower to another. The main thing is that the procedure for moving the figure corresponding to its face value is performed.
As a result, a player may have more than one king. Therefore, in this game, the king can be captured. Even if the last king is captured, the game does not end if the player can immediately collect a new king. The player who does not have a king after one turn loses.
If a player has only one king (in addition to other pieces), that piece cannot be split, even if it respawns elsewhere.
