TT (tm) (pronounced "pie") takes the traditional game of chess and turns 
it into a fast paced free-for-all involving as many players as you can fit in 
the room!  It preserves both the number of squares and the power of the pieces 
while allowing multiple players by stretching one side of the board to form an 
arc.  Several curved boards can be placed together to form an annular 
(doughnut) shape and rectangular board segments can also be added to the 
curved segments to allow even more people to play together.

There are many ways to play TT (tm), but our favorite is with 4 players in a 
double team format.  Each player controls two teams which are placed back to 
back on adjacent board segments.  Each player�s teams consists of a dark and li
ght shade of one colour so that each player�s pieces are distinct and teams 
can go in either direction around the board.  Players can form temporary or 
long term alliances and handicaps can be introduced to make the game more even.
