„Chess more than a game“
The first board game for one of the oldest board
games in the world!
2 Dice - 4 difficulty levels
8 categories - 32 significant chess locations
to the game on 64 fields
2-8 players try to move through the board as fast as possible starting in Madrid
(location of the first chess tournament in Europe in 1575) and finishing in Tromsö
(location of the Chess Olympiad in 2014). The board shows important chess players
and other interesting details.
The players roll with a normal die (numbers 1 to 6) and the new speed die (two
times the numbers 1-3). After moving the normal die‘s number of pips the speed
die adds dynamics to the game: when answering one of the 512 questions of
8 categories the player can either advance it‘s number or go back according to
whether or not answering correctly.
Test your knowledge concerning the history, the rules, the board and its chess
pieces and much much more around one of the most popular board games of the
world.

Course of the Game
All token cards start at the field “start“.
Variation - start
Before the first player can move his token card he/
she has to answer a question correctly of the first
category. If he does not succeed
a) the second player can start without having to do
so.
b) the second player has to try answering the question.
The first player throws the dice with for ex3 with
ample a 4_ with the normal and a ___
the speed die. He advances the correspon4 fields.
ding pip number, here ___

Arrival at the blue field, category:
Board and Chess Pieces
The player opposite takes a card of the corresponding category and reads the question according to the chosen game level
aloud. In the example that would be the
pawn question.
How many black squares does the
chess board have?
32
How many squares does the
diagonal between a3 and f8
have?
6
How many black squares does the
diagonal between c1 and h6 have?
The player now has the chance to answer.
This is where the speed die comes in. If the
answer is correct the player is allowed to
advance the number of pips _3 , if not he
has to return _ 3 .

What is the name of the queen
in Russian?
Fers
Variation - Answering the Questions
1) A question can be declined once.
2) Before every move the player can decide whether or not he wants to play with or without the
game cards, thus the speed die.
3) After throwing the dice the player can decide
whether or not to play with the questions and the
speed die.
After carrying out the move it is the next
player‘s turn. The dice are passed on clockwise.

End of the Game
The game is finished as soon as somebody passes over the final game field, be it
through throwing the dice or answering
one of the questions correctly. Thereby it
is not important to reach the field exactly.
Passing over is enough.
Variantion - End of the Game
1) The final field has to be reached exactly. If a player passes it
a) he has to go back the amount surpassing it.
b) he is not allowed to move this turn but has to wait
until the next one.
2) The final field has to be reached exactly. Now the
player has to answer the question of the category
of the final field. Does he answer correctly he has
won the game, if not he has to go back the amount
of pips of the speed die.
3) The final field is reached when the player stops
exactly on it or passes it. Now he still has to answer
the final question. Does he do so correctly he has
won the game, if not he has to go back the amount
of pips of the speed die.

The Makers
The Author
The Designer
Originally at home in the field of mathematics and chess Dr. Dirk Jordan developed
this game idea for one of the oldest board
games in the world adding a dimension of
learning to it. The invention of the speed
die gives the game a special dynamic.
The Diplom-Designer (FH) Nadine Villwock
breathed new life into the game by visualising the ideas and concepts in pictures
and illustrations. Beside that she created
a special chess piece graphic set and the
category symbols especially for the game.
