9x9 Baseball Chess, Hits & Homeruns. Recall LF__CF__RF 1__2__3
____________ White Leftfielder has affinity for SS__PI__2B 4__5__6
Bishop-SS,2B nonant(a7,a8,a9,b7,b8,b9,c7,c8,c9); 3B__CA__1B 7__8__9
Knight-3B,1B and so on. Only both teams'
Rook-LF,RF Knights are initially ''nonantized.'' RNBKQCBNR
It always takes three(3) below: (t) If three or more pieces are in their nonant, player gets to move twice per turn whilst the condition holds,
called a ''Double.'' ''Single'' is the normal default of course,
each team one move per turn. Moving into a nonant applies towards all
subsequent turns. (u) ''Triple,'' three moves on a turn, requires
Pitcher on the Mound, i.e. Queen in her Nonant and three pieces all together nonantized. (v) ''Home Run,'' four moves on a turn, requires Cardinal at
Home Plate, i.e. Carrera Centaur(BN) in his Nonant and the two or more
others also in theirs. Double, Triple, and Home Run are called
Extra-Base Hits, or just taking or making the hit. (w) If no piece is in
nonant, the team cannot move a piece, only Pawn or King. These Mutators
't' to 'w' motivate teams to keep 1B-Knight and 3B-Knight in starting
(activated) White nonants(7,9) and Black(1,3). (These specific Baseball (t,u,v, and w) would be Mutators used in a block most often, based on prior agreement of opposing teams.)
