Chess Game and Method of Playing Chess Game

Abstract

A method of playing a chess game includes the steps of: providing at least two different configurations of markers and a plurality of playing platforms; providing at least two different player chesses, which match with the configuration of the markers respectively, for players respectively; without an inference of the players, randomly forming the markers on the playing platforms respectively to initially form a chess board in a grid manner; the players alternatively placing the player chesses on the playing platforms to cover on the markers thereon; and determining a winner of the game who delineates the longest link formed by the player chesses and the same configurations of the makers at the playing platforms next to each other.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A chess game for two or more players, comprising:
 a chess board which defines a plurality of playing platforms aligned in a planar manner and has at least two different configurations of markers randomly formed on said playing platforms respectively; and   at least two different player chesses matching with said configurations of said markers respectively, wherein all of said playing chesses are alternatively placed on said playing platforms to cover on said markers thereon in order to delineate the longest link formed by said player chesses and said same configurations of said makers at said playing platforms next to each other.   
     
     
         2 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said chess board comprises a plurality of board units each having a top side defining said playing platform thereon, and a bottom side, wherein said board units are shuffled to randomly display said markers and to form a grid with predetermined rows and columns. 
     
     
         3 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said chess board further comprises a chess holder formed on each of said playing platforms to retain said player chess thereon. 
     
     
         4 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said chess board further comprises a chess holder formed on each of said playing platforms to retain said player chess thereon. 
     
     
         5 . The chess game, recited in  claim 4 , wherein said chess holder has a chess indention indented on each of said playing platforms to receive a portion of said player chess, wherein a depth of said chess indention is smaller than a thickness of said player chess. 
     
     
         6 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said markers are formed at bottom walls of said chess indentions of said playing platforms respectively. 
     
     
         7 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising first and second casings each having a playing cavity for receiving and orderly organizing said board units in a checkered manner, wherein after said board units are disposed at said playing cavity of said first casing in a face-down manner, said second casing is covered on said first casing to enclose said board units and is flipped up-side-down to shift said board units in a face-up manner so as to expose said playing platforms on said second casing. 
     
     
         8 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 5 , further comprising first and second casings each having a playing cavity for receiving and orderly organizing said board units in a checkered manner, wherein after said board units are disposed at said playing cavity of said first casing in a face-down manner, said second casing is covered on said first casing to enclose said board units and is flipped up-side-down to shift said board units in a face-up manner so as to expose said playing platforms on said second casing. 
     
     
         9 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 8 , wherein a total depth of said playing cavities of said first and second casings is slightly larger than a thickness of each of said player chesses. 
     
     
         10 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said markers are displayed in different colors. 
     
     
         11 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said markers are displayed in different colors, and said player chesses are configured with different colors matching with said colors of said markers respectively. 
     
     
         12 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said chess board forms a square grid to define same numbers of rows and columns of said playing platforms. 
     
     
         13 . The chess game, as recited in  claim 1 , which is an electronic chess game comprising a processor and a touch screen, wherein said playing platforms are displayed on said touch screen and each of said player chesses is placed on said playing platform by a touch of said touch screen on said playing platform via said processor. 
     
     
         14 . A method of playing a chess game for two or more players, comprising the steps of:
 (a) providing at least two different configurations of markers and a plurality of playing platforms;   (b) providing at least two different player chesses, which match with said configuration of said markers respectively, for said players respectively;   (c) without an inference of said players, randomly forming said markers on said playing platforms respectively to initially form a chess board in a grid manner;   (d) said players alternatively placing said player chesses on said playing platforms to cover on said markers thereon; and   (e) determining a winner of said game who delineates the longest link formed by said player chesses and said same configurations of said makers at said playing platforms next to each other.   
     
     
         15 . The method, as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said step (a) further comprises a step of: (a.1) providing a plurality of board units each having a top side and a bottom side, wherein said top side of each of said board units forms said playing platform thereon, wherein said board units are shuffled to randomly display said markers and to form a grid with predetermined rows and columns in said step (c).
