Chess battleships. A game I've kind of made up but it sort of exists at the same time.

The basic element to the game is to hide your 16 pieces anywhere on the chessboard (a1 -h8) and then guess where your opponents pieces are. If you correctly hit a pawn you win a point, hit the queen win 9 points etc but hit the king and it's game over straight away. Each player would have 9 guesses (or 16) but I'd roll with 9.

The game could be played as knockout or round robin- say 5 players guess 1 players board and so on. We would need an adjudicator to receive a copy of everyone's board to ensure fair play.

I would like to end by saying I think this is a brilliant that I've (possibly) made up.

Your welcome.

Two exclamation marks 😲

I would go with that game, though I think there will be a lot of draws

Wow!

I can only assume my great game has been alerted twice because someone's trying to copyright it!

RHP automatically flags certain words which send an alert to the mods. The mods then determine if the words were used in were appropriate for this forum.

The tricky part is finding out which word(s) in your post triggered the alert.

I put the word associated with foul play which caused one alert so I edited it to fair play and bingo...2 alerts. I presume the edit repeats the initial word even though it was removed.

The 'C' word (rhyming with heating) always sends the auto-mod wild.

Just describing the games I see already being played. I find that funny. Perhaps I have to do a winky face to signify that I am just having a laugh. 😁😉
