Apocalypse is a chess variant invented by C. S. Elliott in 1976. The players each start with two ''horsemen'' and five ''footmen'' on a 5×5 board. The two sides make their moves simultaneously. The game was featured in Issue 53 of ''Games & Puzzles'' magazine. ==Game rules== The starting setup is as shown. Horsemen and footmen move and capture the same as knights and pawns in chess, except footmen do not have a double-step option on their first move. For each turn, each player secretly writes down his move, then the players simultaneously declare them. The following rules apply: * If they moved to the same square, a horseman captures a footman. Same-type pieces are ''both'' removed from the board. * If a capture was declared using a footman, but the piece to be captured moved from its square, the footman move still stands. (The move converts to a diagonal step instead of a capture.) * If a declared move is illegal, the player incurs a penalty point. A footman promotes to horseman when reaching the last rank, but only when the player has less than two horsemen. Otherwise the player must redeploy the footman to any vacant square.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Apocalypse )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apocalypse (chess variant)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
