Composite chess game and method

A chess-type strategy game, which comprises:

• A) a gameboard having a playing surface comprising at least three different square concentric playing surfaces of at least four, sixteen, and thirty-six alternate contrasting squares in a checkerboard fashion, said different square concentric playing surfaces delineated by different square concentric perimeter lines, providing a multiple square concentric perimeter checkered gameboard playing surface comprising:
• 1) four central alternately contrasting squares providing a playing surface of four squares having a square first perimeter,
• 2) said four central alternately contrasting squares surrounded by an additional twelve alternately contrasting squares to provide a playing surface of sixteen squares having a square second perimeter,
• 3) said playing surface of sixteen squares surrounded by an additional twenty alternately contrasting squares to provide a playing surface of thirty-six squares having a square third perimeter,
• 4) thereby providing different size playing surfaces delineated by multiple square concentric perimeters distinguishable by different humanly sensible indicia, and
• B) at least two contrasting sets of playing pieces, each set of playing pieces being differentiated from the other set by a different humanly sensible indicia, and each set of playing pieces comprising:
• 1) at least three different types of simplex playing pieces, each different type of said simplex playing pieces comprising one of at least three different types of simplex symmetrical geometric configurations;
• whereby each different type of said simplex symmetrical geometric configurations represents one different specific potential movement and capturing pattern for each different type of said simplex playing piece upon said playing surface of said gameboard, and
• 2) at least three different types of duplex playing pieces, each different type of said duplex playing pieces comprising one of at least three different types of duplex symmetrical geometric configurations, each different type of said duplex symmetrical geometric configurations comprising two of at least three different types of said simplex symmetrical geometric configurations superimposed concentrically upon each other;
• whereby each different type of said duplex symmetrical geometric configurations represents two different alternative specific potential movement and capturing patterns for each different type of said duplex playing pieces upon said playing surface of said gameboard.
