MINISTERS CHESS SET

MINISTERS™ Chess is a symmetric chess that employs a 9x9 board and 36 chess pieces. Each player has 1 king, 2 ministers (queens), 2 bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks and 9 pawns. The two ministers flank the king, eliminating its conventional chess bishop-side weakness. 

MINISTERS™ is a larger, dynamic, fascinating and more open game. In MINISTERS™ due to the larger 81-squares board, 17 squares more than the conventional chess 64-squares board, the range of attack of the pieces is increased, and more elaborate maneuvers can be executed where an army can even encircle the other.
