I would tend to agree... My point was being that King's Mate is a classic game that has meaning outside the books. I have in fact enjoyed playing it.

I've been trying to understand the game better. Has anyone played it?
Positions? Did I get this right?
Fool Keeper Priest/Priestess Swordmaster King
Can you play with a regular chess board?

those are the right positions. You can't play with a chess board. Did you like read Heroes and Legends of RUin Mist? It has a board in there. I saw somewhere on RSMB where Shire Hobbit showed the board sheets you can buy!

The boards aren't standard dimensions for chess. They look like these here. The white trim is my favorite. Gold trim looks good too. I've used regular chess pieces to play the game. Pawns --> fools Knights --> Swordmasters Bishops --> Priest/Priestess Rooks --> Keepers King --> King The game plays very well when you use the tournament rules. I like it better than chess.

King's Mate is better than Quidditch ever could be. It is a game I can sit down and play. The strategy is interesting I have yet to master it. I will one o these days

I agree King's Mate is a fun mix of like strategy and action. The board is like this
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | K | F | . | . | . | . | . | f | k | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | P | F | . | . | . | . | . | f | p | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | S | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | s | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | C | F | . | . | . | . | . | f | c | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | S | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | s | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | P | F | . | . | . | . | . | f | p | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | K | F | . | . | . | . | . | f | k | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
