Multi-Dimensional Modified Chess Game

Abstract

A chess-like game played by at least two or as many players as possible on a non-polyhedron or a polyhedron rotating surface wherein a number of chess boards are connected to each other, back-to-back and wrapped around the said rotating surface so that the rows of at least two chess boards are parallel.

1 . A method of playing a chess game comprising:
 configuring at least two chess boards connected to each other, back-to-back, wherein the first and the last row of a first chess board is aligned adjacent to the first and the last row of a bordering second chess board, respectively;   providing at least two dividing lines, wherein a first dividing line separates the first row of the first chess board and the first row of the second chess board, and wherein a second dividing line separates the last row of the first chess board and the last row of the second chess board,   arranging a first set of chess pieces placed on the first two rows of the first chess board on one side of the first dividing line;   arranging a second set of chess pieces placed on the last two rows of the first chess board on one side of the second dividing line;   arranging a third set of chess pieces placed on the first two rows of the second chess board on one side of the first dividing line;   arranging a fourth set of chess pieces placed on the last two rows of the second chess board on one side of the second dividing line;   wherein, alliances may be formed between multiple players, where each player moves at least one chess piece on every turn; and   wherein one of the chess pieces with a distinguishing feature remains hidden until revealed by a player, wherein the said revealed chess piece can be elevated to a higher-ranking chess piece, such that the player or its alliance may then be able to have multiple elevated higher-ranking chess pieces within the same game.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the chess boards are wrapped around a surface mounted on a cylindrical beam which in turn is affixed on two rectangular pillars on each side of the surface;
 wherein the rectangular pillars are attached onto a base, whereby the rectangular pillars attached onto a base and the cylindrical beam affixed on the rectangular pillars allow the rotation of the chess boards wrapped around the surface.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the rotation of chess boards can be clockwise or anti-clockwise as desired by the player. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the surface is multi-dimensional and is configured within at least one of a physical, digital, or electronic gaming environment. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein same colored chess pieces are placed on the first two rows of the first chess board and the second chess board, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein another set of colored chess pieces are placed on the last two rows of the first chess board and the second chess board, respectively. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the chess boards further comprises multiple directional arrows on the last two columns on both sides of the chess board to communicate direction for the movement of the chess pieces. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the chess boards have at least eight columns and multiple rows depending on the number of chess boards connected to each other. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the chess pieces are secured to the chess boards by at least one of hook and loop, fastener or a magnetic material. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the chess game may have more than one chess piece with a distinguishing feature on a chess board. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the chess piece elevated to higher-ranking chess piece can retrieve a captured chess piece of an ally back on the same or different chess board in place of the elevated higher-ranking chess piece. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the chess piece with a distinguishing feature can be elevated to higher-ranking once the said chess piece has crossed the dividing line to move onto the next chess board. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the player whose king has been captured can continue to play the game to assist its ally in capturing the king of their opponent. 
     
     
         14 . A method of playing a chess game comprising:
 configuring at least two chess boards connected to each other, back-to-back, wherein the first and the last row of a first chess board is aligned adjacent to the first and the last row of a bordering second chess board, respectively, wherein the two chess boards are wrapped outside of a surface;   configuring at least two chess boards connected to each other, back-to-back, wherein the first and the last row of a third chess board is aligned adjacent to the first and the last row of a bordering fourth chess board, respectively, wherein the two chess boards are wrapped inside of the surface;   arranging set of conventional chess pieces placed on the chess boards wrapped inside and outside of the surface;   wherein the number of chess boards and the number of players are increased by twofold;   wherein, alliances may be formed between multiple players, where each player moves at least one chess piece on every turn; and   wherein one of the chess pieces with a distinguishing feature remains hidden until revealed by a player, wherein the said revealed chess piece can be elevated to a higher-ranking chess piece, such that the player or its alliance may then be able to have multiple elevated higher-ranking chess pieces within the same game.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the surface is mounted on a cylindrical beam which in turn is affixed on two rectangular pillars on each side of the surface; wherein the rectangular pillars are attached onto a base, whereby the rectangular pillars attached onto a base and the cylindrical beam affixed on the rectangular pillars allow the rotation of the chess boards wrapped outside and inside of the surface. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the surface is multi-dimensional and is configured within at least one of a physical, digital, or electronic gaming environment. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the chess game may have more than one chess piece with distinguishing feature on a chess board. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the chess boards further comprises multiple directional arrows on the last two columns on both sides of the chess boards to communicate direction for the movement of the chess pieces. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the chess game further comprises at least two dividing lines, wherein a first dividing line separates the first row of the first chess board and the first row of the second chess board, and wherein a second dividing line separates the last row of the first chess board and the last row of the second chess board, wherein the first and the second chess boards are wrapped outside of the surface; wherein the first dividing line separates the first row of the third chess board and the first row of the fourth chess board, and wherein the second dividing line separates the last row of the third chess board and the last row of the fourth chess board, wherein the third and the fourth chess boards are wrapped inside of the surface. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the chess game may have more than one chess piece with a distinguishing feature on a chess board.
