Omega chess

Omega Chess is a commercial chess variant designed by Daniel McDonald in Toronto. The game is played on a 10x10 board with an extra square dangling off each of the four corners for the wizards. The game is laid out like regular chess with the addition of a champion in the corner and a wizard diagonally behind each champion (see diagram on right).

The New Pieces

• Champion: moves one or two spaces like a rook or two spaces diagonally jumping over the intervening square if necessary.

• Wizard: moves either like a 3x1 knight (instead of a traditional 2x1 knight) or one space diagonally.
