This is a Chess game with a board consisting of equilateral triangles. The movements of the pieces are taken from the previous TriangleChess game that I built. However, the pawns are restored to having a double-move to start, and pawns can no longer attack straight forward. At the urging of the players with whom I tested TriangleChess, there is now a queen piece available at the start.


To play this game in a sort-of "multiplayer" (will require the use of a computer or a connected keyboard), when the white player plays, text the 3-letter code in the bottom left corner to the black player. The black player types the code in on the bottom right corner of his screen. Then, after the black player makes a move, the black player needs to text the 3-letter code on the top left corner of the screen to the white player. The white player then needs to type in that code into the top right corner of his screen.

Here is the basic move for pawns (this movement is dependent on which direction the triangle it is on is pointing, which also affects how other pieces move, as seen later):

After a pawn's first move, if it has open space:

or 

On the first pawn move:

or 

Pawns can't attack straight forward, nor can they jump pieces:


The rook movement is mostly independent of which direction of triangle it is on, but the move is slightly different:

or 

The bishop movement is extremely dependent upon the direction of triangle it is on:

or 

The Queen movement is a combination of the Rook and Bishop movements.

Pawns turn into queens at the rank that your enemy queen and bishops start on, which is why Queens look like pawns with crowns and flames, which is what the image is:

or:
Knight moves are now a full circle of radius equal to the normal knight move of sqrt(5) squares moved, and, of course, knights can jump pieces:
or 

This game is a king-capture variant, but it will tell you when you are in check, though not all illegal moves are blocked.
