H=Super4*Chess Shaman - can move like a 4*Chess U or a 4*Chess K T=Super4*Chess Pilot - can move like a 4*Chess D or a 4*Chess K N=4*Chess Knight (nicknamed Horse) - changes 1 coordinate by 1 square and 1 coordinate by 2 squares, like a knight K=4*Chess King - moves like a 4*Chess Q, only 1 square/mini-board at a time (no castling) Q=4*Chess Queen - moves like a 4*Chess B or 4*Chess R, or a 4*Chess U, or a 4*Chess D R=4*Chess Rook - changes 1 coordinate as it moves, like a rook U=4*Chess Unicorn - moves like a bishop except changes 3 coordinates as it moves (standard 3D fairy chess piece) ī=4*Chess Bishop - changes 2 coordinates as it moves, like a bishop (& stays on same coloured squares) Note that 8 piece types are borrowed from my earlier 4*Chess (a four dimensional chess variant), while a further 6 specifically Super4*Chess piece types are added, for a total of 14 piece types that are used in Super4*Chess:ĭ=4*Chess Balloon (I'd nickname it Dirigible) - moves like a bishop except changes 4 coordinates as it moves & stays on same square colour (standard 4D fairy chess piece) In Super4*Chess, some 3D & 4D moving pieces are introduced, & all the pieces may possibly move between the mini-boards when performing a move (note that 'coordinate' in these instructions refers to the rank or file of a square on a mini-board, or refers to the row or column of a mini-board). Note that some links are provided in the Notes section, for further reference. All this is with the hope of making the game still viable to play & enjoy.
all have movement capability of a K included). A 16x16 board with appropriate spacing could be used even on a coffee table it would be about the size of a Scrabble board (it's 15x15 for that).īecause it is not so easy to checkmate a K in many 3D or 4D chess variants (maybe including my earlier 4D variant 4*Chess), besides standard 4D pieces, in Super4*Chess I've used 6 new powerful types of Super4*Chess pieces (in fairy chess-speak, all are compound pieces that are crowned, i.e. Super4*Chess (four dimensional chess) Here's a 4D game I call Super4*Chess that can be played as if on a 2D plane (it uses sixteen 4x4 (2D) mini-boards). This page is written by the game's inventor, Kevin Pacey. Check out Chu Shogi, our featured variant for August, 2023.
