Cezary

Anyone knows, detailed rules of this intresting kind of chess ?

I found the Makarenko's game should be very creative and simply funny....

"This game was created in the former Soviet Union.
Needs 47 yellow disks for one side and 47 blue disks for the other. The traditional chess pieces are built up from these disks. A king needs 8, queen 7, bishop 5, knight 4, rook 3, pawn 1. If you move part of the disks from a piece, you change the piece to two weaker ones, or you can move disks onto a piece of your own and create one stronger piece. Pawns can only do this with their capturing move. There can be more than one of any pieces including king. A player can never be without a king. A king can be captured just like other pieces in normal chess as long as the player who just lost his last king can form a new one in his next move."

Thanks so much for this explanation.

I found an exeption -
when U have a piece formed from 2 disks it moves as a pawn, from 6 as a bishop untill they will become a stronger figure.
To clarify that moves with stacking, it seems easy: for example, my first move as white is to do Quenn on b1 :) put a1rook  onto b1knight, but during destacking, I should probably move four-disk knight and live three-disk rook in place or oposite - am I right i that ? Another example - take Your own Queen by a pawn and U will have second King, funny, isn't !

Do we need more details, to start a game ? Maybe not, and what about notation ?

I think, that in Odessa (Ukrain) Makarenko's chess tournaments are played in every year ....



Did U play this game before , by the way ?
