ChessPlus Board Game

June 2019 Purchase: Chess Plus.

A board game that allows you to combine chess pieces to form new movements. Merged chess pieces will have the movements of both chess pieces. For example, a merged rook and bishop piece will move like a QUEEN!

Chess pieces are made of resin. They have elegant and sleek look-and-feel. 
I am disappointed the pieces are too light in weight.

My rating:

Gameplay: 5 out of 5
Component quality: 4 out of 5
Price: 4 out of 5

Where to buy in Australia?
Dungeon Crawl Website
Gamerholics

Average price: AUD $29 - $39




Merged knight-bishop can move like a knight or a bishop.
Merged knight-pawn can move like knight or a pawn.

The ability to merge pieces can really mess up traditional chess strategy, but it’s so much fun.




Chessplus board game comes with a velvet storage bag with drawstring, resin chess pieces and a thick foldable chess board.


When a merged piece is captured, you will lose both pieces. In the photo above, losing the white merged piece will lose both knight and root.

How to move merge pieces? There are a few possibilities:
1) move as merged piece
2) move just the knight to split merged piece back to 2 chess pieces
3) move just the rook to split merged piece back to 2 chess pieces
