well, if any chess masters are interested to look at the rules

I have a chess game with 220 pieces per play­er.

Well, I in­vent­ed it about ten years ago.

It fea­tures tow­ers to de­fend for­ward who are com­posed of three pieces and can then launch ar­rows.

It has boul­ders who just tum­ble when a sol­dier is moved, it has the en­tire cler­gy from pope to priests, first in obelisk like pieces. It has oth­ers – such as elves, emos, vam­pires, suc­cu­bi, kings, courts and artists. And an em­per­or.

There would be no time re­stric­tion. For moves and to in­stall a break of any time pe­ri­od, there is a ju­ror and a lawyer. There is a wait­er to serve drinks or get meals. The size of the board would be a snook­er ta­ble and it would be art nou­veau or baroque dec­o­rat­ed.

And I have a nine year old who beat me four times play­ing it.
 

These are all the de­scrip­tions for the rules and pieces that I have so far:

I’m not sure about the Sol­diers, that would make it, of course, too com­plex to keep over­sight, and I don’t know if there should be a main con­cept for a move for all the Sol­diers.

Also, I’m not sure about the Elves and Vam­pires, their num­bers would be 11 and 5 con­sec­u­tive­ly but then that would lead to asym­me­try.

And I haven’t the ca­pa­bil­i­ty to fath­om the sec­ond stage of the game play and there is­n’t any tech­ni­cal analy­sis or work done on it I’m a bit misty there.

Play­ers might also need an in­di­vid­ual screen to try things out I imag­ine, so they can zoom in or over­see things clear­ly. It has to be 3D, be­cause in 2D, it just won’t be very easy as there are just so many pieces.

I have a Blender 3D de­sign back­up. Un­for­tu­nate­ly, the lat­est ver­sion was lost as my de­sign­er com­plete­ly dis­ap­peared.

Dec­o­ra­tive sculp­tor and Au­thor of a neosym­bol­ist mythol­o­gy on Kant­ian per­cep­tion, on the imag­i­na­tion, in­spi­ra­tion, art, deca­dence, es­thet­ics and pas­sion, hate, mis­an­thropy main­ly. Heav­i­ly in­flu­enced by Huys­mans A re­bours and Schopen­hauers refuge in art as Sades will to free erotics. He in­vent­ed the Eif­fel tow­er sev­er­al times the size of the cur­rent one in paris to launch trains into space in an art nou­veau way. He in­vent­ed can­dles on re­mote con­trol. He in­vent­ed a game of chess with over 200 pieces per play­er and in an en­tire­ly clas­si­cal and de­scent set­up. With a line of Bish­ops, an Army, an­gels, boul­ders, with tow­ers that need to be de­fend­ed for­ward to launch the boul­ders, with a court, and a high­er court with Elvin, Elvin King, Em­per­or, Em­press and vam­pire of melan­choly and a vam­pire le­gion. He is a self de­clared mad­man and of­fi­cial­ly de­clared in­sane by the state of Bel­gium deu to his ro­man­tic up­risals. De­sign­er and ar­chi­tect of the fu­ture city of Anae­htheana, which is best de­scribed as the most beau­ti­ful and lux­u­ri­ous place ever de­vised, with the con­crete bridges done again in mar­ble, a wild zoo where the high­way is now. And a for­ti­fied vat­i­can in­spired wall for a le­gion of Joans of Arc he is try­ing to call. Among that, he is call­ing upon all ar­che­types cur­rent­ly in cos­play goth­ic and mu­sic to build, among oth­er things, a Vam­pire Lane with goth­ic schools, goth­ic mu­se­ums and goth­ic lounges and palaces. And an Angh an­gel fortress. It is his one and only and fi­nal mis­sion to re­place all com­mer­cial bill­boards with ro­man­tic and aca­d­e­m­ic paint­ings.
