Tavreli: Russian Chess
About game
All the standard chess rules are maintained, including castle moves and en passant captures. The main distinction is that pieces aren't eliminated, but are instead captured by occupying a spot on an opponent's piece, creating towers. Consequently, all figures remain on the board until the game's conclusion. Captured pieces can be freed during gameplay.
You can play against the computer, share a device with a friend, or challenge a player online in multiplayer mode. You can also observe other players' games, offer your own strategy for their next move, and see it on the board.
How to play
Every pawn stands facing the piece it transforms into on the farthest row. Towers can be made up of your own pieces, and the strongest one is built from two bishops, a queen, and a helga at the bottom. The whole tower moves according to the top piece's move rules. When it's your turn, you can only split the tower into two parts in any proportion. After splitting, the new tower becomes active right away. If it's on the last row and there's a pawn (warrior) on top, it instantly turns into its corresponding piece. You can't put pieces on the king (Magus). If a warrior who turned into another piece gets swapped with an opponent's piece, he becomes a regular warrior again and must go to the last row to transform. The game ends when a player puts their opponent's Magus in checkmate.Game info
