Camel Decimal Chess
CAUTION: THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
One more Chess Variant adding a pair of Camels to the standard chess set. This is a long tradition started with historical variants of shatranj, and followed in modern times by numerous proposals.
What's wrong with the Camels by the way? Those sympathic pieces are not at ease on the 10x10 board which doesn't seem bigger enough for them. I wanted to have an arrangement where all Pawns are protected on the initial setup. Which is not the case for Devingt Chess, and more...
In Modern Kamil, Camels are able to attack the opponent's Pawns on their second move, which is quite early.
Also, to be avoided is setup from which the Camels would fork the opponent's King or Queen very early.
It seems that a kind of Shako-setup would be interesting. This keeps the entire standard chess setup internally, allowing some transposition of openings.
