Chesquerque

Chesquerque gameboard and starting position. In the diagram, archbishops are represented by knight and bishop combined.

Chesquerque is a chess variant invented by George R. Dekle Sr. in 1986.[1][2] The game is played on a board composed of four Alquerque boards combined into a square. Like Alquerque, pieces are positioned on points of intersection and make their moves along marked lines (similarly to xiangqi); as such, the board comprises a 9×9 grid with 81 positions (points) that pieces can move to.

Chesquerque was included in World Game Review No. 10 edited by Michael Keller.[3]
