Chess Brought Up-To-Date
A new variation of chess, bringing the game more into line with modern warfare, has been invented. It is played on a board of 144 squares, and two new pieces—aeroplane and tank—have been added. A promoted pawn becomes an atomoc bomb.
The bomb must be used carefully, however. When brought into play it wipes out all the pieces—the player’s as well as his opponent’s—within a radius of six squares from its target.
