		Physical chess pieces used to play a game are usually three-dimensional figurines, taller than they are wide (a set of pieces designed for a board with squares two inches wide will typically have a king around 3.75 inches tall).

		A fairy chess piece or unorthodox chess piece is a chess piece not used in conventional chess, but used in certain chess variants and some chess problems.
		In shatranj, a forerunner to chess, the pieces which were later replaced by the bishop and queen were also leapers: the alfil was a (2,2) leaper (moving exactly two squares diagonally in any direction), and the fers a (1,1) leaper (that is, it can move one square diagonally in any direction).
		In fairy chess any other orthodox piece or fairy piece may instead be designated royal, there may be more than one royal piece, or there may no royal pieces at all (in which case the aim of the game must be something other than to deliver checkmate).

	Fairies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Fairy chess is a generic term which was introduced before the First World War to cover all problems which are not directmates.
		Fairy chess enthusiasts classify pieces into three groups: leapers, riders and hoppers (but be warned - some pieces do not fit into any of these categories!).
		A Pao standing at a1 with a piece (of either colour) at a5 could move along the rank or to a2, a3 or a4, and capture any enemy piece which stopped at a6, a7 or a8.

	Chess with Chinese Pieces
		The use of fairy pieces in endgame studies is much less frequent than their use in direct mate and helpmate problems.
		In India the pieces were set up in a fixed position, but then White, and next Black, made several moves in a row, restricted to their side of the board (Murray, p.
		The possible moves and captures in a position are determined solely by the location of the pieces on the board and who has the move, regardless of the particular sequence of moves that produced the position.

	Chess variant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fairy pieces, different from those used in chess.
		Chess960 (or Fischer Random Chess): the placement of the pieces on the 1st and 8th rank is randomized.

	Fairy Retros [Retro Corner] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Fairy retros are retros with fairy chess men and/or rules.
		It is quite straightforward to understand how fairy conditions can be incorporated in retros once you see that all retro-stipulations can be rephrased in terms of the existence of legal proof games with given peculiarities.
		Observe that in some retraction problems with a stipulation of the form "White retracts his last move and then mate in one" the legality of the position is not really at stake, and the only question is to find the hidden tricky retraction move that will allow a mate in one.

	Fairy Pieces and Conditions
		Circe - The rebirth square of a piece is the square occupied at the beginning of an orthodox game by a piece of the same kind and of the same side.
		Neutral piece - Piece which is at the same time white (can be played by White and captured by Black) and fl (can be played by Black and captured by White).
		Sentinelles - When a piece (not a Pawn) moves, a Pawn of the colour of its side appears on the vacated square if it is not on the first or the last rank, and if there are less than 8 Pawns of that colour on the board.

		For each piece that could be either guarded or captured by the piece, it scored points equal to that pieces normal value.
		If the piece was in danger by a piece it could not capture, it scored zero points.
		But I suspect that as long as all the pieces are still on the board (no captures) and you are in a relatively good middle game (something experts/masters would play) that you would end up with similar results.

	Zillions of Games - Zillions' Version History
		When searching games with multiple moves per turns, Zillions now considers it legal to make a move allowing a checkmateable piece to be captured as long as the capture is not available in the first move of the opponent's turn.
		When the "attacked?" keyword checks if a square is attacked, it now uses a hypothetical piece of the same piece-type as the piece which is generating moves, rather than an arbitrary piece-type.
		Fixed bug: Zillions would erroneously allow a piece to be moved to its starting square (possibly resulting in an empty choose move dialog) in situations where another friendly piece(s) could move onto the position containing the moved piece.

	Fairy Extravaganzas
		Planché also wrote twenty-three fairy pieces, all of which may be considered extravaganzas.
		Planché had long wished to write such a work for the English stage; prior to this time, fairy tales were treated as vehicles for broad humor and for elaborate scenic effects, but not for a poignant dramatization.
		Planché was comfortable evoking sadness, tenderness, and even fear in his fairy adaptations, but there were limits not only imposed by his audience's expectations, but by his own willingness to explore.
