CHESSBOARDS


Chessboards are available for tired adventurers in most inns and bars.

Look at the chessboard during a game to see where the pieces are. Upper case pieces are white, lower case pieces are black.

To set up the pieces for a new game, type 'setup'.

To move a piece, type move <startsquare> <endsquare>, for example, 'move e2 e4' or 'move e2-e4'.

To place a new piece on the board (for instance when your pawn gets promoted) 'place <piece> <coordinates>' - for instance 'place Q c8'.

To clear away the pieces, type 'clear'.

To take back the previous move, type 'takeback'.

Remember, it's a game - don't kick the chessboard if you lose.

Since chess is a game of passion the colours you choose for shout and yell are used to show the pieces.

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
