Here are the rules for l'Échiqueté (checkered chess), a project by Patrick Bernier and Olive Martin (past residents of Kadist SF).   The pieces move the same way as they do in classical chess, and their starting positions are unchanged, but, as the game progresses, new characters make an appearance! In a nutshell: the capture of an enemy piece produces a piece belonging to both players, a double agent.   Basics. 1. Each capture produces a new piece in place of the two pieces involved. The player executing the capture decides whether this new piece takes on the nature of the capturing or the captured piece. 2. The new piece arising from a capture is neither white nor black but 'checkered.'  3. All checkered pieces belong to the player currently taking their turn and can capture the opponents pieces (as described in rule 1 above). Their manner of moving remains the same as in classical chess. For the complete set of rules, visit Kadist SF tomorrow night at 6pm.
