The word Tsunkatse is a Ki word meaning "to fight with". It is used to refer to many things but especially fighting. This Tsunkatse is a game. Its a four player chess game. The rules are basically the same as Chess, but with a few modifications. The trick to playing Tsunkatse is watching three opponent's strategies rather than just one/

• The Pawn: It can move only straight ahead until reaching the neutrality squares. At and after the neutrality squares, it can move across or forwards never backwards. On the first move, it can move 1 or 2 squares, but on any move afterwards it can move only once. It can capture any opponent's piece by attacking diagonally only.

• The Bishop: It can only move diagonal always in a straight line, but it can move backwards and forwards as many squares as it wants.

• The Rook: I can only move up, down, or across always in a straight line. It can move as many squares as it wants.

• The Knight: It moves in three by two in "L" shape patterns anywhere. It can leap over your own or an opponent's pieces.

• The Queen: It can move anyway it wants as many squares as it wants.

• The King: It can move anyway it wants but no more than one square.

No Man's Land:
The neutral area of the Tsunkatse board bordered by the four opponent's maginal lines. This is neutral ground where the capturing of opponent's pieces mainly take place.

Neutrality Squares:
The Neutrality Squares is a series of same color squares forming an "X" across the board from the corners of No Man's Land. The Neutrality squares are the point at which the Pawns may now move in "across" directions one square at a time.

Checkmate:
When your opponent can not escape checkmate, his king is removed from the board and your opponents chessmen are now your own.

Conquered Chessmen:
When you conquer an opponent's chessmen, that person can no longer play. When it is your move, you can move the opponent's former chessmen as they are your own (They are now your own).

Ultimate:
When one of the two last standing kings can not escape checkmate. At this point the entire board is conquered by one person.
