IN THE WAR FOR THE BOARD THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE KING!
The oldest, most enduring strategy games of all-time, CHESS improves decision-making skills, memory and brain function.
Two players locked in a face-to-face battle of the chess board take turns moving their pieces with the ultimate goal of capturing the opponent's King for a CHECKMATE and the win.
Sounds simple enough, except it's not....
The INFINITY GAME TABLE is a revolutionary way to play the games you love - LOCALLY or COLLABORATIVELY online.
AN INCREDIBLE INTERACTIVE VERSION OF CLASSIC CHESS GAMEPLAY:
Players select the color GAME PIECE SET of their choice (Light or Dark). The player with the light set will go first.
Each players set has 16 pieces: 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Rooks, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights, 8 Pawns.
Each chess piece has it's own move:
KING- the King can move one square in any direction: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It can capture any enemy piece that is one square away, but it cannot move to a square where it would be under attack (in check). The king is also involved in castling, a special move where it and a rook move simultaneously.
QUEEN- the Queen is the most powerful piece, capable of moving any number of squares diagonally, horizontally, or vertically. She can capture an opponent's piece by moving to the square it occupies. The queen can't jump over other pieces, and her path must be clear.
ROOK- Rooks move horizontally or vertically any number of squares, but it cannot jump over other pieces. It can capture an enemy piece by landing on its square. The rook also participates in castling with the king.
Knight- Knights move in an "L" shape: two squares in one direction (horizontally or vertically) and then one square perpendicular to that direction. It can jump over other pieces and changes the color of the square it lands on each move.
PAWN- Pawns move forward one square at a time, except for their first move, where they can move one or two squares forward. They capture diagonally, one square forward
Players are allowed one move per turn.
A move that renders the opponent's King vulnerable is called a CHECK.
The game ends when a move results in a CHECKMATE, meaning a player's piece would successfully capture the opponent's KING.
