Which Chess Piece Owns The Moon

This is just an information thread, not a variant game in progress.

Below is a diagram of the board and starting position for Omega Chess.

And here is the website for those of you who can’t wait for more information: http://www.omegachess.com

You’ll see two different pieces in the diagram. The crescent moon represents the wizard and helmet represents the champion.

The wizard is a leaper, like the knight. It can move one square diagonally in all four directions. Or, like an exaggerated knight move, the wizard can jump three squares horizontally or vertically and then one square to either side. The wizard is bound to the color of its starting square. The wizard can jump over pieces to also control up to twelve squares.

The champion is also a leaper. It can move one square orthogonally, forward, backward or to either side. Or the champion can jump two squares forward or backward or to either side, or jump two squares diagonally in all four directions. The champion can jump over pieces and it can control up to twelve squares.

All the other pieces move as in chess except the pawns which may move up to three squares on their first move.

En Passant: The principle for capturing an opposing pawn en passant in Omega Chess remains the same as in standard chess. If a pawn moves two or three squares initially and passes an opposing pawn on the fourth or fifth rank, the pawn may be captured en passant. The opposing pawn moves onto the square through which the pawn moved. Capturing en passant is optional unless it is the only legal move available. The capture must be made on the next move.

OK, that’s it for now. Head over to the official site for more info, diagrams, and other goodies.
