Chess Has Everyone Stimulated State (Chess)
The State CHESS
CHESS is the only monarchy in Toyland. Although it is part of the Toyland
federation it has it's own laws. One of this laws (which is not accepted
by the federation) has the following text:
Paragraph 739(a) Any item that does not belong to a citizen of CHESS is
property of the king
There is more than one king in CHESS and they simply take what they
find. That makes it hard to regain lost treasures...
The citizens of CHESS behave like chess-pieces but they won't capture
each other.
While there are some rooms in which you only have to free the way to
the bead there are others where you have to take care of the
king(s). They can be stalemated (however they won't give up - as soon
as they can move they will continue their way).

Objects in CHESS
The white pawns can be moved one square up - they can not be pushed
down, to the right or left.
Black pawns can be moved one square down - they can not be pushed
up, to the right or left.
White knights can jump and will always jump two squares
forward and one step to the right. That is if you stand left of it and
move it it will move two squares to the right and one square down. They
can jump over other items but the target has to be an empty square.
Black knights do the same as white knights but will jump
two squares forward and one step to the left - e.g when you stand left
of it and move it it will move two squares to the right and one square
up.
Rooks (black and white) will move until they hit another
figure or the border.
Kings can not be moved or passed. They try to steal the
bead. Although they do not respect the rules of the federation
of Toyland they respect the rules of CHESS. So they will only move
when you move any figure and they will only move one square each time
- but they can move in all eight directions.
