Mammoth Chess

Mr. Begley has requested his copyrighted material be removed from this page. Please note, Mr. Begley is no longer associated with these pages, nor will he be in the future.

Since this game was part of a contest, and in the interest of retaining information on the main concepts of this game for comparison purposes, a brief description of this game is included.

A 10x10 board is used, but the four corner squares have been removed. Pieces used include the standard chess King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, and Knight. New pieces use are: Chancellor (Rook/Knight), Cardinal (Bishop/Knight), Cannon (from Xiangqi), Nightrider, and Mammoth (moves like an Elephant in Chaturanga, and may also make a capturing move onto any adjacent square). Pawns may move one or two squares, and may promote on the last or second-last rank, but only to the piece-type which started the game on that square.

Written by David Howe. Mammoth Chess was invented by Kevin Begley.

This variant was an entry in the 1999 Large Variant contest.
