In Avatar Chess, the skill level of a figure results from the value of the square on which the figure stands. With each move, the move options change depending on the square you have reached.

Rules

Rule supplement

If a piece reaches the opposing row of pawns and from there in a further move the opposing baseline, the player receives an additional Avatar. This additional Avatar starts from your own row of pawns; the player can choose the pawn square.

If necessary, the players agree in advance on a maximum limit of Avatars that can be won in the course of the game.
