    About this ebook

    Got a Chess set? Fancy a choice of ten spiced up versions of the game? Then Curried Chess is for you! From the easy but fun to play Knightspawn, or the very mobile Noble Wings Chess, to the no King, exotic moves territory battle that is Stratak. You might want to get to grips with Barbed Chess, where there is danger around every corner, or the appetising Kingspawn Take-Away, where the humble Pawn explodes into prominence, as with the crossover – Kingspawn Noble Wings. Then there are two games that create added suspense: firstly, Double-Take, where decisions are made in secret before the start of the game, and then sprung on your opponent at the moment of choice. Or, if you choose to stay poised, ready to attack with everything at the right moment – then Cobra Strike! is the game for you. There are two short range variations: Short Chess!, invites you to play standard chess with half the range, and Barbed Short Chess is where the Knights become Knight-mares! With all but one of these games, you are encouraged, if you wish, to add or substitute features or moves from other games in this ebook to create your own versions – in the Extra Spiced – By You listing, with your opponents consent of course! There are millions of chess players who might fancy a change from the moves in the traditional game. Curried Chess offers players a number of dynamic games that have twists and traps to ensure an exciting game. Whether the game is short or long, Markus Stormson covers all aspects of the game, keeping even the most amateur player in mind. All played with your chess set on the 8x8 chequered board – so don’t be bored again, “check” it out, Curried Chess is there to spice up your chess life!

Games such as Knightspawn are simple to learn as it has only one type of move, and could be looked on as a crossover from Draughts (Checkers) to Chess.
