From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capablanca chess, developed and named for Cuban world champion José Raúl Capablanca, who conceived of the game as a prospective replacement for chess amongst masters, whom Capablanca saw as increasingly likely to play repeated draws in view of the continued advancement of opening and endgame theory, is a chess variant that features two distinctions from traditional chess: a different board—the game is played on either a ten-by-eight or a ten-by-ten board—and two fairy pieces—an archbishop (left), which combines the knight and bishop and may move as either, and a chancellor (right), which combines the knight and rook and may move as either.
