Chess Has Everyone Stimulated State (Chess)

The State CHESS

CHESS is the only monarchy in Toyland. Although it is part of the Toyland federation it has it's own laws. One of this laws (which is not accepted by the federation) has the following text:

Paragraph 739(a) Any item that does not belong to a citizen of CHESS is property of the king

There is more than one king in CHESS and they simply take what they find. That makes it hard to regain lost treasures...

The citizens of CHESS behave like chess-pieces but they won't capture each other.

While there are some rooms in which you only have to free the way to the bead there are others where you have to take care of the king(s). They can be stalemated (however they won't give up - as soon as they can move they will continue their way).

Objects in CHESS

White Pawns

The white pawns can be moved one square up - they can not be pushed down, to the right or left.

Black Pawns

Black pawns can be moved one square down - they can not be pushed up, to the right or left.

White Knights

White knights can jump and will always jump two squares forward and one step to the right. That is if you stand left of it and move it it will move two squares to the right and one square down. They can jump over other items but the target has to be an empty square.

Black Knights

  • Black knights do the same as white knights but will jump two squares forward and one step to the left - e.g when you stand left of it and move it it will move two squares to the right and one square up.

    Rooks

    Rooks (black and white) will move until they hit another figure or the border.

    Kings

    Kings can not be moved or passed. They try to steal the bead. Although they do not respect the rules of the federation of Toyland they respect the rules of CHESS. So they will only move when you move any figure and they will only move one square each time - but they can move in all eight directions.
