Grand chess

Grand chess is a large-board chess variant invented by Dutch games designer Christian Freeling in 1984. It is played on a 10×10 board, with each side having two additional pawns and two new pieces: the marshal and the cardinal. * The marshal (M) combines powers of a rook and a knight. * The cardinal (C) combines powers of a bishop and a knight. Grand chess uses the same pieces as the earlier variant Capablanca chess, but differs in board size, start position, rules governing pawn moves and promotion, and castling.
