It's a chess variant where Black has a full normal chess set, whilst White has just one piece known as the Maharajah. The Maharajah can move as a Queen or a Knight on White's turn. The idea of the game is the same as in chess, for White it is to checkmate Black's King whereas for Black it is to checkmate the only White piece. The only other additional rules are that there is no castling and no pawn promotion. Some links for you: - www.chessvariants.org en.wikipedia.org Looks pretty neat. I may have a go at programming a webserver for people to play the game, although both of the links I've provided claim that with perfect play Black will win every time. |

Today's Birthdays Ludwig van Beethoven (baptised 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. He was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most acclaimed and influential composers of all time. His hearing began to deteriorate in the late 1790s, yet he continued to compose, conduct, and perform, even after becoming completely deaf. Source: en.wikipedia.org John Greenleaf Whittier (December 17, 1807 – September 7, 1892) was an influential American Quaker poet and ardent advocate of the abolition of slavery in the United States. He is usually listed as one of the Fireside Poets. Whittier was strongly influenced by the Scottish poet, Robert Burns. SOURCE: en.wikipedia.org |
