Tutti-Frutti Chess that was on the board at the beginning of the game except the king (amazon, queen, empress, princess, rook, bishop, or knight). Tutti-Frutti Chess Tutti-Frutti Chess is a chess variant invented by Ralph Betza and Philip Cohen in 1978. It has been played regularly in tournaments and correspondence games. The game is played using a standard chessboard, and follows all the rules and conventions of standard chess, with one difference: the queen's rooks are replaced by empresses (rook plus knight), the queens are replaced by amazons, the king's bishops are replaced by queens and the king's knights are replaced by
Chess and is provably less than 10, with a game-tree complexity of approximately 10. The game-tree complexity of chess was first calculated by Claude Shannon as 10, a number known as the Shannon number. Typically an average position has thirty to forty possible moves, but there may be as few as zero (in the case of checkmate or stalemate) or (in a constructed position) as many as 218. Chess has inspired many combinatorial puzzles, such as the knight's tour and the eight queens puzzle. The idea of creating a chess-playing machine dates to the 18th century; around 1769, the chess-playing automaton
