He made chess a whole lot more interesting the kid thought traditional chess was kind of boring so he decided to modify every piece giving each one a unique mechanism when someone gets checkmated the game doesn't end right away the loser has to hand over their sword like it's a movie scene when pawn reaches the end of the board a simple twist and pull transforms it into a queen but the most impressive design is the rook when it captures a piece it grabs it and launches the opposing piece across the board
