To humour, Joe Joyce is correct some are better than others and they could surely be Centennial Chess etc. instead only by tweaking. Yet with RN27(Philosopher's Chess) making 1.91889408 x 10^20 CVs, they line up for fun like billiard balls, and appear well into visible range of masses having equivalent number of atoms(as CVs). Approaching 10^21(sextillion) means within order of magnitude or two of Howlet's wing or Elephant's trunk. One CV for every atom -- Atom! -- in the tail of a Dolphin. Separately delineated as '1c6e27d', representing one exclusive game, Falcon Chess on 10x10 RNBF..., with Falcon enhanced by Knight leap, and four(4) Philosophers pre-placed in front Pawns, to move 1 orthogonal in lieu of a regular piece move, or 'converting' to either of two other modes of four total (w,x,y,z)always applicable to both sides at once. // End of Rules for '1c6e27d' // Explanation: Philosophers are pre-positioned before Move 1 by agreement in the rank before each side's Pawn row. Philosopher moves conceptually 1 diagonal only(w), or 2 diagonal leaping(x), or 1 orthogonal only(y) default, or 2 orthogonal leaping(z). For conversion (like Philosopher's 2x2), (w,z) and (x,y) are pairwise non-adjacent. (a) no effect; (b)Two Philosophers preplaced. In lieu of a normal move, player may move 2 Phils. or 'convert' adjacently '1o' to (2o or 1d), '2o' to (2d or 1o), '2d' to (2o or 1d), '1d' to (2d or 1o); (c) 3 Philosophers after 27b; (d) 4 Philosophers following 27b; (e) 5 Philosophers 27b; (f) 6 Philosophers 27b; (g) 5 Philosophers 27b, and player may move two (mandatory) or move only one and 'convert adjacently' the same way, in either order. (h) 5 Philosophers according to 27g with three Philosophers moving (mandatory) or two(mandatory) and conversion in any order, in lieu of normal piece move.
