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.

No, the only attacking is done by a laser. Pieces cannot occupy the same space as another piece.

I'm thinking I'll start.
I'm down to get more acquainted with the rules before we start though if Sangmin is.

What does it look like when a splitter is hit by a laser? if it was hit from the left, would the laser go up and down or up and right?

hypothetically, are we allowed to just block their laser? What would happen if we both do that?

Sorry, noticed this. This just constitutes shooting it away from the board?
Can the laser be rotated?
