Succhess Story

Today is a great day,

After a long period of work and investigation, I am finally very proud to release on this day of July 3rd 2008 the Millenium chess variant : SUCCHESS. What is SUCCHESS ? It stands for Super Creative Chess and it defintely opposes the french word for chess (echecs) that means failure in french.

The level of complexity is increased significantly by the size of the board (10x10), by several new pieces introduced and several group pieces also. Contrary to many other chess variants, the new pieces introduced remain simple enough for the brain to swallow them easily. Below a nice snapshot of a Succhess position :




I have made all the SUCCHESS rules available on the chess variants web page. Below a link to the Succhess rules :



For those who have the software Zillions of Games, you can just download the game here and play Succhess. The required screen definition is 1280x1024.

If you don't have Zillions of Games, you can download a demo version but you won't be able to play my chess variant. I am looking into implementing Succhess under linux but this is for the future.

Enjoy playing and let me know what you think !
