Mayan Chess

[Jeff Probst]

Chess Board

The Board:


The Players:
Sylvia Kwan for Kukulkán
Brad Virata for Kukulkán
Gregg Carey for Kukulkán
Paschal English for Cha'ac

[Jeff Probst]

At the begining of the challenge each tribe will have to submit a list which says what piece of a normal chess they will be representing/moving as.

: Here's our list, hope its ok.
Sylvia-horse
Gregg-Tower
Brad - King
Scout-Pawn
Michelle- Queen
Jon- Pawn
Brook- Bishop
Ian - Tower

This list is correct because it includes all the requisites:

• Someone HAS TO be the King
  
• Each of the 6 different pieces has to be used at least once (horse,tower,queen, bishop, king and pawn)
  
• There can't be more than 2 of each piece except for pawn which can be up to three.

Moving

Each person will only be able to move as the piece they selected.
So for example Sylvia is a horse so she will only be able to move like a horse.

can only move

Getting into Play

Once both tribes have chosen who will be what piece the game starts.
Tribes will have to take turns to move.
So it will go one for Cha'ac (cause they won reward) and then one for Kukulkán.



(this turn he will be the pawn on A2): I will move to A4

(she is the horse in B8): I move to A6

And so on the tribes will be taking turns to play chess.

Watchout for this

You CAN NOT make someone else move, you can try planning as a tribe and tell them when to move, but you can't post where they move.

: Sylvia is moving to A6

If this happens, the tribe who's player did so will loose their turn and the other tribe (in this case Cha'ac will be able to continue the match)

All planning HAS to be done on the camp, if you say it in the challenge board you will also loose your turn.

(At Challenge Board)
: Sylvia hurry and move to A6!

[Jeff Probst]

First tribe to Checkmate the other wins Immunity.
The loosing King will have to post the words "I'm down" so the challenge ends officially and so the other tribe knows you can't make any other moves to save yourself.
: I move to G7, we have Brad cornered thats a Check mate.
: d**n, I'm down.

In case that the king makes a move which didn't save him the other tribe may post "I move to ___ and kill the King"
: I move to G7, we have Brad cornered thats a Check mate.
: I move to G8!
: I move to G8 and Kill the King.

[Jeff Probst]

Remember

You can't attempt to make moves that your piece can't do, if that happens you will also loose your turn.
(he is a tower (he is at A3)): I move to F8.

Also use the little board: to indicate where all your team is with little colour dots and where you move this turn with lines and a bigger dot, thats just to keep control and so everyone knows where the rest are standing:


So everyone knows who is what colour dot, along with your piece list submit which colour each of you will be represented with. Choose out of this colours.
