Four Fronts (Cuatro Frentes in Spanish) is a board game created by the Uruguayan professor[ ambiguous ] Gabriel Baldi Lemonnier. [2]

Contents

History

It was created in 2012 by Lemonnier, who invented and patented it as «Ajedrez Uruguayo» (Uruguayan Chess). [3]

It is a variant of chess, for two, three or four opponents who play in pairs or individually, although when playing in pairs, partners cannot speak. It involves moving the pieces through the checkered gameboard of black or white, with the intention of capturing. To the standard board of eight by eight frames, four sections were added to the respective formations. [4]

The pieces are 12 per player: the king, the queen, the bishop, the knight, rook and the pawn, incorporating as a novelty the prince, a piece that moves similarly to a queen. [5] The pieces are colored white, black, yellow and red.
