About Dragon Chess
Dragon Chess has the same set of rules as Chess. However, the playing field has 124 squares. There are two Dragons per player, each with a Pawn located on the rank in front of the Dragon. The Dragon occupies the outer two squares on the same rank as the King. The Field has two extra ranks (rows) and files (columns) as well as two flanks each with 12 squares located on either side of the main playing area providing a total playing area of 124 squares. The Dragon moves and captures on the rank (horizontally), file (vertically) and diagonally, over unoccupied squares and limited to three squares in line.
