The Coaches at the Cupertino Chess Club have prepared a Special Event for all skill levels that challenges our young chess players in a whole new way. On June 24th, the club will host a mock-tournament with a fun new chess variant called THE SUPREME KING (Or Emperor's Chess)
Supreme-King Chess has all the standard rules of chess with just two very special
modifications:
- The King has updated powers: He moves like a QUEEN + a KNIGHT !!
- You do not have to say Check, and therefore you MAY capture the Supreme King (Capture him to win the
game).
There will be at least two different sections (tentative) and the tournament will be paired just like a standard 4-Game Swiss-style Rapid tournament. Clocks will be forced onto games that threaten to go long. Rules and features will be discussed before the start of the tournament. This is NOT a rated Event, this is just for fun and prizes. We will also be serving
PIZZA.
Every Participant in this event will receive a prize (something unique!), with a bonus trophy given to the first place finisher in each section. One blunder is all it takes.. so it could be anyone!
Address: Good Samaritan
