BUMP!

You bumped a thread after only 4 minutes?!

No, probably not. Maybe as a gimmick, not for play.

Mario is the king.

I actually DO have that set but I don't play with it. It is more of a novelty and collectable than a serious board for playing for me.

Luigi is the king in the chess photo. I guess you can arrange them however you like.

You're looking at the board backwards. Luigi and Mario are the Black pieces in the photo. Mario is the king.

Good point, for some reason I assumed the white pieces would be Mario's side.

What are you guys talking about princess is the queen luigi is the king and mario is the rook. Obviously thats why does mario need protection he obviously gets alot action going on in the games

I wouldn't want it even if it was free...

      There's a couple of different Mario sets with pictures in this months Chess Life Magazine.

Wouldn't you have to modify the rules so that Mario's side starts with a princess already captured?

I got it as a gift I have it hahahah

They need a chess set based on the Incredibles. Syndrome and Mirage as King and queen (with long flowing capes), and Omnidroid rooks.

And, of course, for the other side, whatever the pieces are there is one rule which must be observed - no capes!

And maybe an alternate set with hobo suits.

It does mess people up in chess I tested it out they got all confused what piece does what it wa funny

       I saw a jazz set that did the same thing,-confused; beautiful set, but confusing.

Ok

+1 Clever... I wonder how many of us get it, though... I miss the days of Super Mario! 

Lol yep thats where i saw it. This was the 1st ive ever read chess life all the other magazine issues just bore the crap out of me.
