FAQs

How does Displacement and Capture Games differ from the chess family of games?

Its pieces are identical or near-identical, unlike the differentiated ranks and powers of chess-family pieces.

Displacement and Capture Games covers games such as Alquerque, Draughts (Checkers), Fanorona and Surakarta, in which pieces move and capture opposing pieces by displacement. It is a Parlett family distinct from the chess family because its pieces are identical or near-identical rather than differentiated by role, which is why differentiated-piece capture games are grouped instead under Chess-Family War Games.
