I grew up playing a lot of chess with my dad. As with most things you do with your parents as a child, you hate it. You loose to the point of wanting to stop completely and then one day you start winning. A complete turn around, as it goes. To the point where perhaps your family member stop playing you because you beat them and they don’t win anymore. Either way good times.
I picked up a magnetic travel chess board for the cheapz a while back and I have gotten back into enjoying chess. Now my primary adversary is starting to be a worthy opponent.. now I have to add some more advanced rules.
Anyways, the original point of this post.. variations of chess. After trying to answer some questions about chess, I wondered if there were any differences or other games based on the 8×8 classical version.. and apparently there are a lot! From 8×10 boards 10×10 boards and more. Casablanca seems to be more interesting, adding a Chancellor and Archbishop.. how cool! Now all I want is a knight that says Ni!
*magnetic boards work great on trains!
