"almost chess"의 정의 및 의미

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.
