Description

I wanted to make a 3D concept of my World Chess game. This is the exact starting position of white. Made in Bryce. It works quite as the usual chess, but played on a 10 to 10 board, with the usual chessmen and additional ones. From Arabian chess comes the camel, from Indian chess the elephant, from Chinese chess the cannon and from Japanese chess gold, silver and the "shogi". The shogi spear is black and white because it can belong to both players, the direction of the sharp points reveals who is the owner at that moment. This game really works, I tried it out. It may need to be further adapted in the future. For more explanation visit the page "chess" on my site art7d.be. (If you ever try it out, you can find the complete rules there. Please write down the whole match and send it to me so I can learn from it! The 3D objects are made for the beauty of it, to play it is more practical to glue the symbols on discs and to play it on a draughtboard-checkerboard. Or just on screen.)
