Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chess and game theory, and in particular relates to the method of using chessboards and chess pieces. Background Technology

[0002] The board and rules of traditional Chinese chess are well-known, and the game layout and rules have remained unchanged for nearly a thousand years. People have long sought to solve the technical challenges of making the game strategy more realistic and achieving a draw, but without success. Existing techniques include a few methods of adding or subtracting pieces, but these still remain within the traditional board layout and rules, merely increasing the number of pieces and the duration of the game, failing to adequately address this age-old problem. Unfortunately, traditional Chinese chess has never incorporated the factor of resources (like food and supplies) into the game, severely detaching itself from realistic considerations. Furthermore, draws are frequent, making it impossible to determine a winner, which is highly controversial in formal chess competitions, especially in games where a winner must be determined—a significant drawback. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide an extended chessboard and silver grain chess pieces, comprising three parts: a chessboard, a granary and silver warehouse section, and silver grain chess pieces, in order to solve the problems faced by the prior art.

[0004] The chessboard consists of an inner frame and an outer frame. The top and bottom edges of the inner and outer frames coincide, and the center edges of the outer frame are dotted lines. Grain and silver treasury tiles are distributed diagonally on both sides of the outer frame. The inner frame can coincide with the outer frame of a traditional Chinese chess board, and the entry and exit symbols of the grain and silver treasury tiles are aligned with the edge points of the traditional Chinese chess board.

[0005] The described grain and silver vault board is characterized by comprising grain and silver markings, fixed lines, and entry / exit symbols. These are distributed at the four opposite corners of the chessboard, with two pairs of grain and silver markings each. Each board has three fixed lines, each capable of holding three grain or silver chess pieces. Each board has a triangular (arrow) entry / exit symbol aligned with the edge (elephant) points of a traditional Chinese chess board.

[0006] The grain and silver chess pieces are characterized in that the silver grain chess piece is octagonal in shape, with the character "grain" or "silver" on its surface, and is located on the stator lines of the grain and silver warehouse sections, arranged in three pairs diagonally. The grain chess piece is defined as a food supply factor in the game, and the silver chess piece is defined as a military pay factor. Both types of pieces can be plundered and destroyed in the game.

[0007] The method of using the chessboard and silver / grain pieces is as follows: the silver / grain pieces, as game elements, are stored in the granary / silver vault section and cannot be moved; they can only be captured and destroyed by the pawns (or cannons) in traditional Chinese chess. A pawn can capture the opponent's silver / grain pieces. If it captures one grain piece and one silver piece simultaneously, it gains one more pawn (or cannon) piece. Capturing three grain pieces also gains one more pawn (or cannon) piece. Capturing three silver pieces gains one grain piece. The cannon can destroy the opponent's grain / silver pieces by skipping over them. In the event of a draw, the player with more silver / grain pieces or more grain pieces wins. If the game is tied and there are no grain / silver pieces to compare, the player who loses three grain pieces first loses. The gains and losses of silver and grain pieces serve as a supplementary judgment on the source of troops and the outcome of a draw during a game between the two sides.

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention can achieve the following effects: 1. Incorporating the element of silver and grain into chess makes it more closely resemble the actual considerations during a game between the two sides, adding more tactics and skills, and enhancing a more comprehensive strategic layout. 2. Using the silver and food pieces captured from the opponent to replenish one's own troops and increase one's own combat power is the most ideal way to win by leveraging the silver and food factor in the game. 3. Using the gain or loss of silver grain chess pieces as a supplementary judgment in the event of a draw in a game between the two sides effectively resolves the issue of winning or losing disputes and helps to create a harmonious spiritual and cultural atmosphere. 4. By using the extended chessboard and silver pieces, the advantages of applying traditional chess scores and formulas are changed. This can break the traps of traditional chess endgames and prevent the phenomenon of street chess endgame scams. Attached Figure Description

[0010] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the principles and usage of the present invention. For example... Figure 2 As shown, it includes: an extended chessboard 1, a granary and treasury section 2, entry and exit symbols 4, silver-character chess pieces 5, and grain-character chess pieces 6.

[0011] First, align the inner frame of the extended chessboard 1 with the outer frame of the traditional chessboard (e.g., Figure 3 Place the silver piece 5 and the grain piece 6 at three points on the fixed lines of the grain warehouse and silver vault section 2 (the fixed lines are as follows). Figure 1 Neither the silver piece 5 nor the grain piece 6 can be moved out of the granary and silver vault section 2. Only after the previous piece is stolen or destroyed can the other two spare pieces be replaced.

[0012] Secondly, the granary / silver vault section 2 has an entry / exit symbol 4, which coincides with the bishop (elephant) side point in traditional Chinese chess. Pawns and cannons in traditional Chinese chess can enter the opponent's granary / silver vault section 2 to seize and destroy silver / grain pieces (5, 6). Pawns can only enter and exit the granary / silver vault section 2 by gradually moving along the opponent's bishop (elephant) side point. Cannons, on the other hand, can move directly in and out of the bishop (elephant) side point from a distance, but require a jump over a piece to destroy silver / grain pieces (5, 6).

[0013] In addition, there are three silver grain pieces (5 and 6) in each of the two granaries and silver treasuries in traditional Chinese chess. When a pawn or cannon enters the opponent's granary and silver treasury in traditional Chinese chess and steals (or destroys) one piece, it can only leave the granary and silver treasury in traditional Chinese chess and must move away from the edge of the elephant's position before it can steal or destroy the spare silver grain pieces (5 and 6) in the next round.

[0014] Based on the extended chessboard rules set above, the traditional chess pieces are now placed on the overlapping chessboard ( Figure 3 On the other hand, without changing the rules of traditional Chinese chess, the combination of the granary piece 2 and the grain piece 5 with traditional Chinese chess pieces creates new playing techniques and strategies. For example ( Figure 6 The diagram shows a partial attack and defense strategy. Assuming the blue pawn and blue cannon are the attacking side in traditional Chinese chess, the blue pawn must gradually advance along the echelon edge to enter granary section 2. Since the echelon edge is defended by the red side's rook, knight, elephant, and cannon, the blue pawn faces significant difficulties in breaking through the red defense to seize the grain. The blue cannon can bypass the echelon edge and directly attack granary section 2, destroying the grain. Similarly, the red cannon can bypass the echelon edge and capture the blue cannon. If the blue pawn and blue cannon blindly enter granary section 2, the red rook, knight, elephant, and cannon can all reach the echelon edge, blocking their retreat and allowing the red side to eventually defeat them.

[0015] Similarly, the strategy in the Silver Treasury section of Granary and Silver Treasury Block 2 is the same as described above. While destroying the opponent's grain and silver seems straightforward, the opponent's defenses are formidable. Entering Granary and Silver Treasury Block 2 to destroy these items requires considerable tactical skill; otherwise, even if successful, retreating is even more difficult. This is remarkably similar to real warfare, where the attacking side prioritizes attacking the opponent's grain and silver resources, while the defending side considers protecting these resources a strategic mission to turn the tide of battle or sustain a protracted war. The two sides alternate between offense and defense, and in addition to traditional chess strategies, the crucial role of the silver and silver pieces (5 and 6) must be considered. A comprehensive consideration of the overall game is essential to victory.

[0016] In traditional Chinese chess, a pawn gains an additional pawn by capturing one silver piece (5) and one grain piece (6) from the opponent. Capturing three grain pieces (6) from the opponent also adds another pawn to the player's roster. These newly added pawns can fill vacancies or serve as substitutes. Capturing three silver pieces (5) from the opponent adds another grain piece (6). This method of increasing combat strength by replenishing troops is an important tactic closely related to real-world chess.

[0017] To avoid draws in games, the "grain" and "silver" pieces are now used as supplementary criteria for determining the winner. When neither side can checkmate the other's general (or king), the side with more remaining silver and grain pieces (5 and 6) wins, or the side with more grain pieces (6) than silver pieces (5) wins. When neither side can checkmate the other's general (or king) and there are no silver and grain pieces (5 and 6) to compare, the side that loses three grain pieces (6) first loses. Using the gain or loss of silver and grain pieces (5 and 6) as the criterion for a draw completely avoids the phenomenon in traditional Chinese chess where a draw occurs but a winner cannot be determined.

[0018] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which neither alters the traditional rules of chess nor compromises the game strategy, and importantly, overcomes the drawback of draws in traditional chess. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, such as factors related to food expenses, porridge funds, cake coins, and meat provisions that may appear in chess (including multiplayer chess), should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
