In the game of Dutch chess is played with a usual set of chess pieces. In the setup, the pawns are on the backrows, and the major pieces at the second rows. Rooks and knights move as in usual chess. Bishops move one square in any direction, i.e., as a king, without being royal. A pawn moves like a queen, and does not promote. King and queen move exactly two squares horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The player that has taken both the queen and the king of the opponent wins the game. |
