Chess stacking

|
Chess stacking is a form of sculpture whereby chess pieces are stacked in an aestheticly pleasing manner. The Staunton chess pieces may be stacked on top of each other in several ways: Queens, Rooks, and Kings can be put on top of other rooks, pawns can be placed upside down in a base made of pawns, and other pieces placed on that sculpture, and the Rook may be put upside-down over the crown of the Queen. Russian Chess Stacking chess also refers to a chess variant also known as Russian Chess. The game is played an ordinary 8 by 8 board with the usual FIDE pieces except that the chess pieces are flat and can be stacked. All rules of FIDE chess apply except that when a piece is captured, it becomes part of a stack, which has the abilities and colour of the uppermost piece. The stack may move such that part of the stack moves and the rest stays behind. You may also capture your own pieces in addition to your opponent's, but the king can never be in a stack. |
