Magnetic Chess Board
The game of chess is played from many years. Many changes have happened in this long journey of chess. Some were accepted by the people and some were not. The oldest being the replacement of wooden chess sets by the glass chess sets. And now further they have been modified in the form of the Magnetic Chess sets. Magnetic chess board is the invention of Jao Pedro Neto and Claude Chaunier. They made the first chess board which had magnetic qualities in the year 1996. This event marked the coming of a new idea after a yawning gap of several years in chess set history. It gave a new look and feel to the game of chess. The rules for the game were almost the same, with a few modifications made like no stalemates and checkmates. Other rules were same as the old chess. The goal in the game is to attack the opponent and capture the opponent king. The player, who did the capturing first, wins the game.
Every piece carries a charge in this magnetic chess board that is either positive or negative or even neutral. These charges create a magnetic field. Be convention the pieces that have positive charges are the white army and the pieces that have negative charges make up the black army. Unlike other pieces, the kings are neutral. Kings neither have positive charge nor any negative charge, as the result they neither attract nor repel any of the chess pieces. When any piece is moved over the place occupied by another piece, the nearest chess pieces of the same column and of the same rank repel each other. But there is no repulsion between them if they are kept diagonally. This is when the pieces are of same color. If they are of different colors, it means they have opposite charges. Hence the repulsion is converted to attraction. And one piece gets attracted to the other piece. Because the king has no charge it can be used as a shield as it is not attracted to any piece nor does it get repelled by any other piece. It acts as a buffer. This leads to new opening in the strategies that were not possible in the normal game.
So the magnetic chess not just calculations and strategies, it has evolved into something more. It involves concepts of repulsion and attraction, which is plain physics. So during a game the player have to think more, if the chess is magnetic chess board than when compared to ordinary game to play. It forces the player to think differently. Another variety which comes is known as anti magnetic chess. The rules for this type are same as above. The only difference is that the opponent’s pieces are also repelled like the same team pieces. And also no repetition of the places is allowed. These changes enhance the game play and give the players new experience. Evolution has constantly made the game of chess interesting and has contributed to its continuation over the centuries. It continues to do so.
