Title TIC TAC CHEC
Earlier this year my 7 year old wanted me to teach him chess. He learned checkers over the winter and wanted to find something a little more challenging to do. We spent the better part of 2 months trying to teach him chess but were unsuccessful.
We started using Tic Tac Chec and slowly he is beginning to understand the concepts and it is much more fun that what we were doing before. Now he grasps the basic of the game without getting frustrated and as a parent this is great.
The game has only 4 pieces per side, a pawn, bishop, rook and knight. You have to get then aligned on the same color, all in a row which may sound easy but you’ll find it not quite as easy as it looks.
One thing I found is that because there are fewer pieces and a smaller game board, the game play is much quicker. In fact you can play several games in the same amount of time as a regular chess game.
Another big plus for the game is how you learn as you play and watching my son I found that he has begun to show his younger brother the game, so now they can play together.
Overall this is one game that has made our summer more enjoyable, well done!!
RATING: **** of **** (Four stars out of Four)

TIC TAC CHEC
Translated by my good friend Bertil Sanden of Sweden March 2009
The fastest, easiest way to learn Chess and the most popular chess variant in the world. A gift for life.
Tic Tac Chec är det snabbaste och lättaste sättet att lära sig spela schack och är världens populäraste variant av schack. En gåva för livet.
A winner of multiple awards and accolades. Millions of people have mastered the basic elements of chess within minutes playing Tic Tac Chec including moves and simple strategy without being intimidated. This quick, fun game combines aspects of both chess and tic tac toe.
Tic Tac Chec har vunnit många priser och fått mycket beröm. Genom att spela Tic Tac Chec har miljontals människor på några få minuter lärt sig att bemästra de grundläggande principerna för schackspel inklusive olika drag och enkla strategier utan att de har känt sig avskräckta. Det här snabba och roliga spelet kombinerar olika aspekter av vanligt schack och ”luffarschack”.
For 2 players. Ages 6 and up. Contents: Wood board & pieces, 2 Rooks, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights, 2 Pawns.
För två spelare. Från 6 år och uppåt. Innehåll: Ett bräde av trä och träpjäser: 2 torn, 2 löpare, 2 springare, 2 bönder.
RULES:
Be the first to align your four pieces of the same color horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Play starts on an empty board, players take turns placing a piece on ANY empty square. (anywhere on the board) After placing your first three pieces you may move and capture as in regular chess, except a pawn reverses direction upon reaching the opposite side of the board. Captured pieces are returned to their owner and can immediately be played again on any open square. You can place a pawn on the opposite side of the board and immediately on the next turn move back towards yourself. If it is captured then placed back on the board it must first move towards the opponent's side of the board before changing directions.
SVENSKA – Regler:
Den som vinner har lyckats ställa upp alla sina pjäser av samma färg horisontellt, vertikalt eller diagonalt.
Spelet börjar alltid med ett tomt bräde. I tur och ordning ställer spelarna en av sina pjäser på ett ledigt fält var som helst på brädet. Sedan du har satt ut dina tre första pjäser får du flytta dina egna pjäser och ta din motståndares pjäser på samma sätt som i vanligt schack, med undantag för att en bonde ändrar riktning så snart den har kommit fram till motsatta sidan av brädet. Tagna pjäser återlämnas till sin ägare och kan därefter omedelbart sättas ut på något ledig ruta. Du kan placera en bonde på motsatta sidan av brädet och omedelbart i samband med ditt nästa drag flytta bonden tillbaka mot dig själv. Om bonden blir tagen och sedan åter placeras på brädet måste bonden först röra sig i riktning mot motståndarens sida av brädet innan bonden tillåts byta riktning .
Optional Rules: Recommended for competitions. Players are allowed approximately 3 minutes to place their first 3 pieces on the board with a maximum of about 30 seconds per turn. After a further 5 minutes of play (this can be adjusted) each player is restricted to 5 captures each. Playing this rule will generally make games end in less than 15 minutes and require more skill.
Förslag till särskilda regler:
Rekommenderas vid tävlingar. För att placera ut sina 3 första pjäser på brädet tillåts spelarna sammanlagt hålla på i ungefär 3 minuter med en längsta paus på 30 sekunders innan det blir den andre spelarens tur att flytta pjäser. Efter ytterligare 5 minuters spel (detta kan ändras) blir varje spelare begränsad att högst få ta 5 av motspelarens pjäser. Med denna regel kommer varje spelomgång i allmänhet inte att ta längre tid än 15 minuter och kräver en större skicklighet av deltagarna.
Chess Piece Moves:
Pawn: - Moves one space forward per turn except when it captures an opponent's piece by moving one space diagonally forward.
Knight: - Moves either one space forward or backward and two spaces either left or right or two spaces forward or backward and one space either left or right. A knight is the only piece that can move over another piece on the board.
Bishop: - Moves diagonally any number of spaces as long as it does not pass another piece.
Rook:- Moves vertically or horizontally as long as it does not pass another piece.
The Knight, Bishop and Rook all capture by landing on an opponent's piece in the same way that they move.
De olika schackpjäsernas tillåtna drag:
Bonde – Rör sig rakt framåt en ruta i taget med undantag för när bonden tar en motståndares pjäs genom att ta ett steg framåt diagonalt.
Springare – (eller häst): Rör sig antingen en ruta framåt eller bakåt och två rutor antingen till vänster eller höger, alternativt två rutor framåt eller bakåt och en ruta till vänster eller höger.
Löpare – Rör sig diagonalt ett fritt antal rutor så länge löparen inte passerar någon annan pjäs.
Torn – Rör sig vertikalt eller horisontellt ett fritt antal rutor så länge tornet inte passera någon annan pjäs.
Springare, löpare och torn tar pjäser genom att landa på en av motspelaren pjäser i den riktning som de rör sig.
TIPS:
1/ Emphasize the goal of getting all four pieces in a row and avoid capturing unless there is a definite advantage gained so that players develop better strategy skills.
2/ Before making a move consider what your opponent is planning.
3/ Always play to win.
4/ Play a flexible strategy by frequently changing where you are making your row. Fixating on a single row will most likely lead to a stalemate at best and more likely a loss.
5/ Avoid trying to make a row of pieces on your first horizontal row of squares. This will most likely lead to defeat as it is difficult to move the pawn back to this row if it is already on the board.
6/ Use a felt tip marker to mark one side of the pawn and always play with this mark facing the direction of movement. This will help you remember its direction.
7/ As in regular Chess, dominating the center of the board helps as some pieces have more potential places to move to.
Tips:
1/ Lägg betoningen på målet att få alla dina fyra pjäser placerade i en rad och undvik att ta motspelarens pjäser om det inte är en definitive fördel för dig med detta förfaringssätt. På så sätt utvecklar du en större strategisk skicklighet.
2/ Innan du gör ett drag tänk dig in I vad din motspelare planerar för sina fortsatta drag.
3/ Planera alltid för att vinna.
4/ Spela med en flexibel strategi genom att ofta ändra de sätt på vilket du gör dina drag. Att låsa sig vid ett enda speciellt spelsätt kommer med största sannolikhet och i bästa fall att leda till ett dödläge men troligast är att du då förlorar.
5/ Undvik att sätta ut en rad av pjäser på din första horisontala rad. Detta kommer med största sannolikhet innebära att du förlorar eftersom det är svårt att flytta tillbaka bonden till denna rad om den redan är placerad på brädet.
6/ Markera den ena sidan av bonden med en filtpenna. Spela alltid med detta märke pekande i den riktning som du flyttar bonden. Detta kommer att hjälpa dig att komma ihåg bondens rörelseriktning.
7/ Liksom i vanligt schack är det till god hjälp att dominera centrum av brädet eftersom då några av pjäserna kan få möjlighet att förflytta sig till flera olika rutor på brädet.
We designed Tic Tac Chec to help introduce the basic moves and play of chess, a wonderful game that provides a life time of benefits. There are 4 important reasons for learning chess with Tic Tac Chec:
1/ There are only one-fourth as many pieces, so it is less confusing for a beginner. Even though each player only receives 4 pieces, every piece on a regular chess board is accommodated. We don't have a queen, but then a queen moves the same as a Bishop and a Rook. A King only moves one space in any direction so this piece is really unnecessary for learning the basics.
2/ If a players' pieces are captured, they are returned to them and they may replace them on the board on any open square when it suits them. This is much less intimidating for a novice player. If your piece is captured it could even be to your advantage.
3/ Games only last a few minutes. There is no time spent setting up the board. Beginners don't use time "trading" pieces until there are only a few left at which time they are able to contemplate a strategy to defend their own King and capture the opponent's. Since games are so much quicker and often lost by simple errors, players will want to get revenge and immediately play again. This and the mental challenge have made the game of Tic Tac Chec a game with high repeat play value.
4/ Immediate recognition of mistakes. On a regular chess board beginners seldom remember where they made strategic errors and thus take longer to learn to avoid repeating them. A basic error while playing Tic Tac Chec almost always leads to instantly losing the game.
Fyra viktiga skäl att lära sig spela schack med Tic Tac Chec:
1/ Det blir mindre förvirrande för nybörjare do Tic Tac Chec bara bara har en fjärdedel så många pjäser som vanligt schack.
2/ Tagna pjäser återlämnas direkt och kan spelas igen på vilken som helst ledig ruta . Detta hindrar nybörjare från att bli missmodiga.
3/ Varje spelomgång tar bara några minuter. Ingen tid går åt för att ställa upp pjäserna på brädet. Nybörjare slösar inte bort någon tid på att ta och behålla varandras pjäser tills det bara återstår ett sådant litet antal pjäser på brädet att spelarna måste fundera ut en strategi för att försvara sin egen kung och ta motspelarens. Eftersom Tic Tac Chec går så mycket snabbare och ofta förloras genom ett enkelt misstag så önskar spelarna revansch och vill snabbt fortsätta spelet igen. Detta faktum och den mentala utmaningen gör att Tic Tac Chec är ett spel man ofta och gärna vill spela.
4/ Man upptäcker snabbt sina misstag. I ett vanligt schackspel genomskådar nybörjare sällan på vilket sätt som de ha har valt en felaktig strategi och sålunda tar det längre tid att lära sig undvika att göra om samma misstag igen. Om man skulle göra ett grundläggande misstag i Tic Tac Check leder det nästan alltid till att man omedelbart förlorar spelomgången.

Excepto o peão, esta peça pode mover-se em sentido contrário após ter alcançado o lado oposto do tabuleiro. As peças capturadas são devolvidas ao seu dono e poderão entrar imediatamente no jogo sendo colocadas em qualquer quadrado vazio. Os peões poderão ser colocados no lado oposto do tabuleiro e imediatamente a seguir ao próximo movimento podes arrastá-lo na tua direcção.

Regras opcionais: Recomendado para competição. Os jogadores estão autorizados durante 3 minutos a colocarem as suas primeiras peças no tabuleiro durante um tempo máximo de 30 segundos cada um. Após um tempo de jogo suplementar de 5 minutos (isto poderá ser adaptado), cada jogador fica restringido a apenas 5 capturas. Seguindo esta regra, os jogos poderão, geralmente, terminar em menos de 15 minutos, exigindo uma perícia maior.
Chess Piece Moves:
Pawn: - Moves one space forward per turn except when it captures an opponent piece by moving one space diagonally forward.
Knight: - Moves either one space forward or backward and two spaces either left or right or two spaces forward or backward and one space either left or right. A knight is the only piece that can move over another piece on the board.
Bishop: - Moves diagonally any number of spaces as long as it does not pass another piece.
Rook: - Moves vertically or horizontally as long as it does not pass another piece.
The Knight, Bishop and Rook all capture by landing on an opponent's piece in the same way that they move.
Movimentos das Peças:
Peão – Pode mover-se um espaço em frente de cada vez, excepto quando captura uma peça adversária ao ser movido um passo em frente na diagonal.
Cavaleiro – Pode mover-se tanto um espaço em frente como para trás, quer para a esquerda como para a direita, ou dois espaços para a frente ou para trás e um espaço tanto para a direita ou para a esquerda. O cavaleiro é a única peça que se pode mover sobre outra peça no tabuleiro.
Bispo – Pode mover-se na diagonal em qualquer número de casas desde que não passe por outra peça.
Torre – Pode mover-se na vertical ou horizontal desde que não passe por outra peça.
O Cavaleiro, o Bispo e a Torre todos podem capturar ao pousarem num espaço onde haja uma peça adversária e desde que sejam movidos nessa mesma direcção.
Tips:
1/ - Only capture your opponents pieces if it is really necessary to prevent them winning or if it truly helps you get 4 pieces in a row.
2/ - Always play to win.
3/ - Play a flexible strategy where two or more rows are an option to win. Fixating on a single row will most likely lead to a stalemate at best and more likely a loss.

6/ - Avoid trying to make a row of pieces on your first row of squares. This will most likely lead to defeat as it is difficult to move the pawn back to this row if it is already on the board
DICAS:
1) Dar importância ao objectivo de conseguir todas as quatro peças em linha e evitar capturar, a não ser que haja a possibilidade de se obter uma vantagem definida, para que os jogadores possam desenvolver melhores capacidades estratégicas.
2) Antes de fazer uma jogada, o jogador deverá tentar adivinhar quais são os planos do adversário.
3) Jogar sempre para ganhar.
4) Seguir uma estratégia flexível com uma mudança frequente sempre que fizer a sua linha. Se se fixar sempre numa mesma linha, isto levará, de certeza, e na melhor das hipóteses a um empate, mas o mais provável será uma derrota.
5) Evitar tentar fazer uma linha com as peças a serem colocadas na primeira linha na horizontal. Isto levará o mais certamente a uma derrota, uma vez que é difícil mover o peão para trás desta linha e caso já esteja no tabuleiro.
6) Usar um marcador de feltro para marcar um lado do peão e jogar sempre com esta marca na direcção do movimento. Isto ajudará a lembrar-se qual a direcção a seguir.
7) Tal como em outro jogo normal de Xadrez, dominar o centro do tabuleiro ajuda visto que algumas das peças têm mais lugares possíveis para se puderem mover.

4 Razões importantes para aprender Xadrez com o Tic Tac Chec:
1) Há apenas um quarto das peças, o que se torna menos confuso para um principiante. Mesmo que cada jogador receba apenas 4 peças, cada uma delas tem o seu lugar num tabuleiro normal de Xadrez. Aqui não temos a Rainha, mas esta move-se da mesma forma que o Bispo e a Torre. O Rei desloca-se apenas um espaço numa direcção qualquer, o que o torna realmente desnecessário para a aprendizagem do básico.
2) Se as peças dos jogadores forem capturadas, estas são-lhes devolvidas e poderão ser recolocadas no tabuleiro e em qualquer espaço livre que mais lhes convir. Isto torna-se muito menos intimidante para um jogador inexperiente. Se uma peça for capturada, isto até poderá tornar-se numa vantagem.
3) Os jogos terminam após alguns minutos. Não há tempo gasto com a colocação das peças no tabuleiro. Os principiantes não gastam tempo a “negociar” peças até que existam apenas algumas e os jogadores possam nesse momento pensar numa estratégia para defenderem o seu Rei e capturar o do adversário. Uma vez que os jogos são mais rápidos e muitas vezes sejam perdidos por simples erros, os jogadores quererão a vingança e travarem logo a seguir um novo jogo. Isto e o desafio metal deram ao jogo Tic Tac Chec um sentido de grande interesse repetitivo.
4) Um reconhecimento imediato dos erros. Num tabuleiro normal de Xadrez, os principiantes raramente recordam onde é que cometeram os erros estratégicos, levando, deste modo, mais tempo a aprenderem como evitar repeti-los. Um erro básico ao jogar Tic Tac Chec leva quase sempre a perder imediatamente o jogo.

La variante di scacchi piu' famosa al mondo. Il metodo piu' veloce e piu' facile. Un regalo per la vita. Vincitore di molti premi.

Pedone - quando si e` di turno puo`avanzare di un solo spazio in avanti; mentre quando cattura un pezzo nemico puo` avanzare di un solo spazio diagonalmente. (una volta raggiunta la parte opposta della scacchiera puo' tornare indietro)
Cavaliere - puo` avanzare o ritirarsi uno spazio e consecutivamente muoversi due spazi a destra o a sinistra oppure avanzare o recedere due spazi e consecutivamente girare uno spazio a destra o a sinistra.
Il Cavaliere e` l’unico pezzo che puo’ saltare un’altro pezzo sulla scacchiera.
l’Alfiere - puo` muoversi diagonalmente a volonta` purche` non passi su un altro pezzo.
La Torre - puo` muoversi orizzontalmente o verticalmente (a volonta') purche` non passi (su) un altro pezzo.
Tips:
Suggerimenti:
1/ - Only capture your opponents pieces if it is really necessary to prevent them winning or if it truly helps you get 4 pieces in a row.
1/ - Cattura I pezzi del tuo avversario solo se e’ realmente necessario per evitare che lui vinca o se nel fare cio’ tu raggiunga l’obbiettivo di catturare gli altri pezzi velocemente
2/ - Always play to win.
2/ - Gioca sempre per vincere
3/ - Play a flexible strategy where two or more rows are an option to win. Fixating on a single row will most likely lead to a stalemate at best and more likely a loss.
3/ - Gioca con una strategia flessibile dove una o due mosse ti possano dare delle possibilita’ di vittoria. Fossilizzarsi su una sola serie di mosse condurra’ al meglio ad una parita’ o in alternativa altrettanto probabile sconfitta.
4/ - Use a felt tip marker to mark one side of the pawn and always play with this mark facing the direction of movement. This will help you remember its direction.
4/ -Usa un pennarello per segnare un lato della pedina e gioca sempre con questo segno orientato la direzione del movimento. Questo ti aiutera’ a ricordare la sua direzione.
5/ - As in regular chess, dominating the center of the board helps as some pieces have more potential places to move to.
5/ - Come negli scacchi regolari, dominando il centro della scacchiera sarai facilitato, avendo alcuni pezzi capacita’ maggiori di movimento
6/ - Avoid trying to make a row of pieces on your first horizontal row of squares. This will most likely lead to defeat as it is difficult to move the pawn back to this row if it is already on the board.
6/ - Evita di avere tutti i pezzi allineati sulla prima linea orizzontale successiva la punto di partenza. Questo tipo di strategia ti portera’ piu’ facilmente ad essere sconfitto, dato che e’ difficile muovere i pezzi indietro da questa linea se e’ gia’ presente sulla scacchiera.
