Introduction

As a chess enthusiast and product designer, I wanted to create a new twist on the traditional game of chess. I believed that the addition of an extra rule would create a more interesting and distinctive game, while still keeping the style of the traditional chess pieces intact. However, I also recognized that the new rule might be somewhat difficult for casual users, so I wanted to ensure that the design was not too different from the original chess pieces.

To achieve this goal, I carefully studied the traditional chess pieces and their styles. I wanted to keep the design as similar as possible, while still incorporating the new rule. After much consideration, I decided to give additional life to any piece that ‘devoured’ the pawn.

Introduction

PAWN can be devoured by other major chess pieces: Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen,and King.

Once it is sacrificed, the executer pieces gain one addiitional life. When a piece is on top of a pawn, it is immune from any attack from other piece for once. The attacking piece is stopped a block away from the immuned piece- following attaking route.

(Knight can choose any place when it is blocked away by immuned piece.)
