Finalists, welcome to your second match. You will be playing Laser Chess.

Laser Chess is played by reflecting a laser to remove an opponent's king.

There are 5 types of pieces used in Laser Chess.
Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

The first piece is the Laser for offense. It cannot move, but it is not removed even when attacked and players are given 1 each. When your turn ends, the Laser will fire automatically.

The second piece is the Splitter. A Splitter reflects the laser and allows it to penetrate and bounce off to create two lasers. Players get 1 Splitter and it isn't removed when attacked.

The third piece is the King which decides the game result. Players only get 1 King and because it has no defensive capabilities, it is removed whenever it is hit by a laser on any side. The game ends the moment the King is removed.

The fourth and fifth pieces defend the king and can also attack. They are the Triangle and Square knights.

Both of these knights have a mirror on one side to reflect the laser. However when hit by the laser on sides without a mirror, they will be removed from the board. Players will be given 5 triangle knights and 2 square knights.

Each piece begins in their designated starting square and there are two moves a player can take during their turn: Moving a piece or Turning a piece.

Moving means you will select a piece and move it up, down, left, right or diagonally one square. However, the laser cannot be moved.

Turning a piece means you can rotate any of your pieces including the laser by 90 degrees. The Laser cannot be turned to face outside the board.

When your turn ends and the laser is fired, the final destination of the fired laser is checked. If any piece (other than a Laser) is hit on a side without a mirror it is removed from the board immediately and the turn is passed on to the other player.

The game is played until one side loses their king. The player whose king is eliminated first will lose the match.

Wow, my terrible ftc performance probably doesn't deserve me this many items.

What does the starting board look like?

Starting Board:

Ignore the colored spaces. They were there in the only copy of an online board that I could find.

Do we get one action a turn? Can a king be defeated by an attacking knight? Can the splitter attack?

The laser always has to fire right?
And it doesn't matter which laser hits which side. It still dies?

Yes, one action per turn.

The king is defeated if they are hit by the laser. If the attack comes from an opposing knight, they are still defeated. The splitter can attack.

Jinho, please choose either you or Sangmin to start.

Your laser will always fire at the end of your turn.

If this square knight is hit on any side except its right (the one with the mirror), the square knight is removed from the game. If it hits the mirror, it bounces off.

If this triangle knight is hit on any side except its top or right (the ones with the mirror), the triangle knight is removed from the game. If it is hit on its bottom side, it bounces off the left. If it is hit on its left side, it bounces down.

so any knight can move onto an opponents piece to remove it, as well as removing it through laser attacks?
