About the Game

Chess Territorial is a game designed as one of the chess variants. It can be played with a regular chess set, but unlike orthodox chess, there is no piece-movement nor capturing, and the goal is to occupy more territory than the opponent. No advanced chess skills are required to play, you only need to know the types of chess pieces.

RULES IN BRIEF

The game begins by placing each player's king on the board edge. Thereafter, each player on his turn places one of his/her pieces on the board.

If the piece to be placed is a high piece (non-pawn), it can be placed at any point from where it can reach any of his/her pieces on the board according to chess rules.

If the piece to be placed is a pawn, it can be placed at any point to where your high piece on the board can be moved according to the chess rules.

Once all the pieces have been placed, the score is calculated. Your score is the sum of the square on which your piece is placed and the empty square of your color adjacent to your piece. However, the score is doubled for territories containing your king and territories containing your queen.
