**Ulkan doskada shaxmat** — bu 1996-yilda Ralf Betza tomonidan ixtiro qilingan katta shaxmat varianti. U 16×16 shaxmat taxtasida o‘ynaladi, har bir o‘yinchiga 16 ta dona (orqa safda) va 16 piyon (ikkinchi o‘rinda). Bunday taxtani toʻrtta standart 8×8 taxtani bir-biriga surish orqali yasash mumkinligi sababli, Betza ushbu variantga **toʻrtta taxtali** shaxmat yoki **toʻrtta taxtada shaxmatning** muqobil nomlarini ham berdi.

Oʻyin tavsifi
-------------

Shaxmatning standart qoidalari quyidagi hollar bundan mustasno.

* Oʻyin yuqorida koʻrsatilgan boshlangʻich pozitsiyasi bilan 16 × 16 doskada oʻynaladi.
* Koʻchirilmagan piyon bir qadam, taxtaning oʻrtasigacha (16 × 16 doskada, sakkizinchi daraja) yoki ular orasidagi har qanday narsani siljitishi mumkin. Shunday qilib, 1.i8 qonuniy ochilish harakati va 1.i3, 1.i4, 1.i5, 1.i6 va 1.i7. Birinchi marta koʻchib oʻtgandan soʻng, u bir vaqtning oʻzida faqat bir qadam tashlashi mumkin. (8×8 doska boʻlsa, bu standart shaxmat bilan bir xil). *Piyonning* bunday uzoq davom etishi harakatlanayotgan piyodani dushman piyoni tomonidan oʻtgan maydonlardan birida toʻxtagandek tutib olish imkonini beradi.
* Kastingda qoʻrgʻon shaxmatda boʻlgani kabi bir xil masofani bosib oʻtadi. Shunday qilib, shoh yanada koʻproq harakat qiladi; agar u qirollik tomonda joylashgan boʻlsa, u ikkinchi oʻngdagi faylda tugaydi va agar u queenside boʻlsa, uchinchi chap faylda tugaydi. 16×16 doskada 0-0 n-faylda rookni va o-faylda qirolni, 0-0-0 esa d-faylda va qirolni c-faylda qoldiradi.
* 50 ta harakat qoidasi kamida 100 ta harakat qoidasiga aylanadi. Odatda, agar taxtaning har bir oʻlchami *n* ga koʻpaytirilsa, oʻyin uchun daʼvolar mumkin boʻlgunga qadar ruxsat etilgan qoʻlga kiritilmaydigan yoki garovga olinmaydigan harakatlar soni ham kamida *n* ga koʻpaytirilishi kerak.
* Ortodoksal qismlar saqlanib qolsa-da, har xil harakatlanadigan qoʻshimcha peri shaxmat qismlari mavjud. Ularning harakatlari quyida Ralf Betzaning "kulgili yozuvi "yordamida berilgan. Jismoniy oʻyinda ushbu olti turdagi ertak qismlari mos kelmaydigan shaxmat toʻplamlari boʻlaklari bilan ifodalanishi mumkin. Eʼtibor bering, Betza diagrammalar uchun peri qismlari uchun piktogramma yoki dizaynni belgilamagan, aksincha ularni ifodalash uchun harflardan foydalangan: bu erda diagrammalarda arxiyepiskop va kansler uchun umumiy renderlar, atirgul uchun teskari ritsar va qolgan uchtasi uchun Omega shaxmat donalari ishlatilgan. ertak qismlari turlari.

Betza atirgulni oʻzining dastlabki sozlashiga kiritdi, chunki u katta taxta uchun juda mos boʻlgan buyum: u oʻzining toʻliq quvvatini 13×13 dan kichikroq taxtalarda koʻrsata olmaydi. Bundan tashqari, uning allaqachon katta harakati hali ham butun maydon boʻylab yetib bora olmaydi, bu esa oʻyinning katta tuygʻusiga hissa qoʻshadi va chavandozlar uzoq masofadan hujum qilish qobiliyatiga ega.

Tarixi
------

Haqiqatan ham katta doskadagi shaxmat Betzaning uch oʻlchamli shaxmat haqidagi gʻoyalari natijasi sifatida yaratilgan, chunki u 3D shaxmat uchun 8×8×8 oʻlchamdagi doskada 512 boʻsh joy boʻladi, bu avvalgi shaxmatning har qanday katta versiyasidan koʻra koʻproq. ixtiro qilingan; keyin u ikki oʻlchamli juda katta (yoki uning soʻzi bilan aytganda, „ulkan") shaxmat oʻyinlarini, asosan, 16 × 16 doskada koʻrib chiqdi, chunki bunday taxtani qurish uchun nostandart jihozlar kerak emas va 8 × dan ancha kattaroq. 8 doska, u oʻynab boʻlmaydigan oʻyin qilish uchun unchalik katta emas edi. Oxir-oqibat, bu gʻoya haqiqatan ham katta taxtada shaxmatning 16 × 16 × 16 oʻlchamli uch oʻlchamli versiyasini ishlab chiqishda toʻliq aylanib chiqdi va u buni „mumkin boʻlmagan darajada katta" deb atadi.

Oʻyin jarayoni
--------------

Betza oʻzining asarlar tanlashini „asosiy geometrik harakatlarning juda oddiy va mantiqiy tanlovi" deb taʼrifladi, bundan tashqari, mening oʻziga xos atirgulni parchalar qatoriga qoʻshish haqidagi oʻziga xos talabim bundan mustasno. Bular asosan shaxmatning asosiy birliklari va 32 donadan iborat [16×16] oʻyinni loyihalashtirgan har bir kishi, hech boʻlmaganda, shaxmatga oʻxshab, lekin biroz taktik boʻlishini istasa, shunga oʻxshash narsani oʻylab topishi kerak". Aslida, uning asl rejasi WA ni qoʻshimcha FD bilan birga kiritish edi, ammo bu c- va n-piyonlarni dastlabki holatda himoyasiz qoldiradi. Uning yakuniy bahosiga koʻra, oʻyin „aniqroq shaxmatga oʻxshaydi".

Betza qismlarni uchta sinfga ajratdi: ettita uzoq masofali qismlar (rooks, episkoplar, qirolicha, arxiyepiskop va kansler), ikkita oʻrta masofali boʻlaklar (atirgul va super ritsar) va oltita qisqa masofali boʻlaklar (ritsarlar, FDlar). va WFA). Uning fikricha, qisqa masofali toʻplar, garchi eng zaif boʻlsa-da, juda muhim, chunki ular harakatga kirishish uchun vaqt talab etadi, ammo hujumlar uchun maxsus chiziqlarni ochish uchun juda muhimdir.



  



### Oxirgi oʻyin

Standart asosiy shaxmatchilar (malika, kalxat, ikkita episkop yoki episkop va ritsar) barchasini 16 × 16 taxtada majburlash mumkin, ammo ularni bajarish uchun koʻproq vaqt talab etiladi. Masalan, episkop va ritsar 8×8 o‘lchamli doskada har qanday g‘alaba qozonish mumkin bo‘lgan pozitsiyadan 33 ta harakat davomida juftlasha olsa, 16×16 doskada 93 tagacha harakat qilish mumkin. Misol uchun, agar Oqning a1 da qirol, b1 da ritsar va c1 da episkop boʻlsa, qoraning c2 da faqat qirol boʻlsa, Oq 92 da juftlikni majburlashi mumkin:

Bitta arxiyepiskop, kansler, WFA, yoki super ritsar (lekin atirgul emas) ham matni majburlashi mumkin. Turli xil rangdagi ikkita FD oʻz qirolining yordamisiz matni majburlashi mumkin.

16×16 oʻlchamli taxtada qirolichaga qarshi oʻyinning yakuniy oʻyini chizilgan. (Aslida, u odatda faqat 5 × 5 dan 15 × 15 kvadrat taxtalarda yutadi).

| Skipping rook (**WDD**; single-letter symbol **W**). Moves as wazir or dabbaba-rider: in other words, a rook that skips every other square on its path and cannot be blocked there, or moves just one square. Betza called this piece a "skipping rook". |

| Crooked bishop (**zB**; single-letter symbol **B**). This piece was the original inspiration for this game. It makes a 90° turn at each step and always moves away from its original position. Thus it could move from e4 to d5 to e6 to d7 to e8. It was previously invented by J. de A. Almay in the early 20th century as the *boyscout*, along with the *girlscout*, which moves as a crooked rook (e.g. from a1 to a2 to b2 to b3 to c3). |
