600 years ago, in 1410, there was one of the biggest battle in Europe called Battle of Grunwald. Predominant role was played by knights and I decided to commemorate this big event by creating a new chess variant called Grunwald Chess ...
The rules are exactly the same as in traditional chess, with the exceptions:
1. Knights can move also as pawns (including double move from starting position)
2. Knights can promote as in traditional chess only when they reach 8th or 1st row as a pawn ...
3. En passant is possible as long as knight moves two fields from its starting position as a pawn ...
4. Knights are entitled to move two fields as pawns as many times as they wish after reaching the 2nd and 7th row on their sites ...
****
Hope you like the idea ... no special equipment is necessary, playing at home, use pawns as knights.
