Wildebeest chess is a chess variant created by R. Wayne Schmittberger in 1987. The Wildebeest board is 11×10 squares. Besides the standard chess pieces, each side has two camels and one "wildebeest" - a piece which may move as either a camel or a knight. The inventor's intent was "to balance the number of 'riders'—pieces that move along open lines—with the number of 'leapers'—pieces that jump". (So for each side, two knights, two camels, and a wildebeest balance two rooks, two bishops, and a queen.) The game was played regularly in the (now defunct) correspondence game club NOST.

  • 牛羚象棋(英語:Wildebeest Chess)是R. Wayne Schmittberger於1987年在其所作之書《New Rules for Classic Games》中推出的西洋棋變體。牛羚象棋使用11x10的棋盤,除了使用原本西洋棋的棋子之外,還增加了駱駝和牛羚這兩種棋子,同時有部分規則變動。其發明者表示,此棋的設計理念是為了平衡跳躍移動的棋子(原本西洋棋僅有馬)和長距離線性移動的棋子(原本西洋棋有車、象、后)的數量。 (zh)
