Chess Board

Description

Chess Board, as the name suggests, is a map that takes place on a chess board. The map has been remade several times since its addition to the game.

Design & Path

The current version of Chess Board takes place on a marble chess board. The board appears on a wooden table, with red cloth on top of the table. The table itself appears in the middle of a black void. The chessboard is a standard affair, with alternating black and white square, surrounded by a grey border. Various enemy pieces of white and black can be seen, with enemies from the game representing real-life pieces. Some pieces have been destroyed. Playing cards can also be seen on the chess board.
The grey marble path begins at a portal near the black piece legacy Fallen King. It meanders a fair bit around all the pieces on the board until it reaches the portal near the white piece legacy Fallen King.

The second version of Chess Board was similar to the first version, except the board was made to be much smaller.
The green path started and ended at portals with two Robloxian kings behind them. This map had quite a few turns, but they do not deviate from the main path too much. This meant that the path was quite straight.

The first version of Chess Board was a large chess board, on top of a wooden stand. The chessboard was a standard affair, with alternating black and white squares. The chess pieces were Robloxians holding swords or rocket launchers. There were also two pieces with no weapon, but only a crown.
The green path started and ended at portals. It took relatively long straights, but there were some corners near the middle and end of the map.

Strategy

  • This path takes fairly long detours around the chess pieces. This means that towers with long range, like the Turret, are recommended.
    • If you can find good spots to place them, the Pursuit and Ace Pilot can be quite useful on this map.
    • Because of the long detours, units, like the Railgun Tank, can shoot at enemies far ahead of it without the risk of it being destroyed.
  • You can place cliff towers on the chess pieces and cards.
    • Be aware of the little space to place cliff towers, especially in the middle of the map.
    • Some chess pieces do not allow for cliff towers to be placed on them.
    • To allow cliff towers to reach the entire map, the DJ Booth is recommended.

Trivia

  • Before being remade in the MEGA Update, Chess Board was one of the longest in the game.
    • After being remade in the MEGA Update, Chess Board was one of the shortest in the game, only being beaten by maps such as Badlands.
  • After being remade in the MEGA Update, Chess Board was the first map where some of the corners were not perpendicular to each other.
  • While Chess Board was remade in the MEGA Update, it was mostly remade to reduce the size of the map. This was unlike some other maps which received a completely makeover.
  • The size of the first two versions of the chess board on this map was 10x10 squares. However, a chess board size in real life should be 8x8 squares.
    • The chess board size currently on this map is 8x8 squares, identical to real life.
  • Every chess piece on the map represents a real life chess piece.
