OK so about a year and a half ago I thought this game up, or designed it, and haven't really thought about it much since.

So basically it's Chess, with two new pieaces, orginally I called it 'Princes chess' as I added two princes, then I thought about having two Princesses, and finally have decided to have one princess and one prince. and called it "Royal chess" as there is a family king and queen and two kids, ofcourse you could call it "Chess Royal".

The board is therefore 10 x 10 squares, the prince sits next to the queen, and the princess next to the king.

And I added an extra row of pawns behind, the main pieces, giving 30 pieces total for each colour 20 pawns, two castles, two knights, two bishops, one prince, one queen, one princess and one king. And so called in royal Chess as it has a family, rather than just a king an queen with no kids.

As for the rear row of pawns they can jump on first move and move three spaces to the fount, or they can sit back and protect the rear, other wise all the rules remain the same.

So I think the Princess should move as a queen but be limited, so move just half the amount as she is still growing up, so the princess moves like a queen but only five squares.

I am having trouble with the prince tho, because Princes' can be dappy, they can also be brilliant, and the pieace need to reflect that, I was thinking like a horse but on the diagonals, but I think that might be too much. 

So any suggestions for how the Prince should move?

As always I give my ideas to mankind, therefore the IP is mine you thieving toe rags. It's a game and belongs to everyone as far as I am concerned

MONEY [::)]

I have invented a few games acutally, and I'm currently thinking about a new one, hence why I have put the chess one up, the others are a bit more techonological and stuff, so there not so easy to explain in a post.

And I did think about having both two princes and two princesses, but that's a 12 by 12 board, or a 12 by 10. and It's too big really.

By going 10 by 10 you end up with a same game play situation more or less in line with original chess, and four spaces to hold in the middle, between the two rows of black and white pawns.

Oh and I also thought about the prince moving like a knight on the diagonals, but then being able to sit anywhere on a kings foot print. To say that the prince could move to that square, 3 diagonals along and one to the side, that becomes the central square and the prince can therefore sit anywhere around that- but takes like a king.

Could also making it a mix of a bishop and a king, The prince hops diagonally two squares and the third becomes the central square of the king footprint.

See my point there are lots of ways to get the pieace to move, and actually I think part of the reason I posted this is because maybe over time the players will figure it out.

If you cannot think of a good way for the prince to move, you could suggest a movement for the princess. 

If not What is your prefered Chess colour? Can you guess mine?

And please do note the problem of IP, anywhere you go in the world today, all types of people play Chess, and you can buy all kinds of chess bourds made by all kinds of people, if you put IP on that then one savage can stand up and say "only people I allow can make a chess bourd, for I own Chess the game"

Just see how rediculas it is, how stupid, how ignorant, and for what? Power and money, sad! Very sad! Ruin the lives of millions, so they can own the game! Patheic pure and simple.

Which is why as I say as the creator of 'Royal chess' "I give it to the world", and anyone who wants to make it, sell it, and play it- can. The scale? Which is better for mankind? The coporate wanna own everything tyrant? or the person that thinks about others? 

How much you wanna bet that some corporate isnt already looking at this game and trying to take the IP on it? It was a year and a half ago in switerland I thought it up, and I did mildly discuss it with a few people, not the whole thing but the general idea of it, maybe that filtered through already and some coporate tried to take it.

What else might they try to get IP for? Cricket? you can only play with a corporate licence? They'll have police arresting and fineing children for playing cricket in the park with no licence?

Put nothing past these people, they are obsessed with getting cash how ever they can.

Corporate rule:- "Your under arrest for singing happy birthday without a licence"

All works under this lie that if everything is owned by someone, then they'll be no problems, as someone will have responsibility over it, and it's rubbish.

Just as the chess suggestion, IP over chess potencially could lead to only one manufacture being allowed to make the game, people only being allowed to play with a licence- just so the owner of the IP can get every penny possible. This promote civilisation? No it promotes tyranny, and persecution- for nothing more than living your life, and in the case of chess trying to have fun.

If this system does not end, it's only going to get more tyranical.

And it's worse as those with ownership can do what they want with it, the owner of a Chess IP could ban the game- "they'd never do that too much money in it"- maybe but they could, what if they are a multi-billionaire and do not want any more money? Buy the IP and bury it, buy a stream and polute it, do what you want as an owner. A joke this idea of ownership, but it's promoted so that corporate intesrests can buy buy buy, whatever is there. Also tried to get the IP on DNA, and they are seeking that.

Then what? Because they won't stop, after that they'll be something else to own and then something else and then some thing else
