skoro šachy, téměř šachy
a chess variant where each player's queen is replaced by a chancellor, a piece that moves like both a rook and a knight
What is "almost chess"?
Almost chess is a chess variant invented in 1977. In this game, each player's queen is replaced by a piece called the chancellor, which combines the moves of both the rook and the knight. This means the chancellor can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically, like a rook, and can also move in an L-shape, like a knight. The rest of the game follows the standard rules of chess, with the main difference being the enhanced capabilities of the chancellor. The objective remains to checkmate the opponent's king.
Example
I ’ve played traditional chess for years, but almost chess with its chancellor piece adds a new challenge.
The chancellor in almost chess made it harder to defend my position because it could move in more directions.
