Update Chess

Queens, kings, knights, rooks (what's a roook anyway?) are all a bit medaeval for a modern game. It's easy enough to translate the pieces to the modern equivalents......

Corporation (ex King) – most important piece on the board and can only move slowly but is protected by all the other pieces. When it falls, they all fall. Politician (ex Queen) – moves generally to protect it’s own corporation while attacking the opponents. It tends not to endanger itself. Accountant (ex Bishop)– moves obliquely, nuff said. P.R. (ex Knight) – moves in a seemingly haphazard manner to attack the opponent’s powerful pieces. Bank (ex Castle) - moves in a very straight line and is usually the pillar of the endgame. Shareholder (ex Pawn) – seemingly irrelevant but come into their own during the endgame and can bring down the Corporation if in a weakened state.

...and the titles of the moves should be relevant..... Castling – banking - you can move the corporation to a safe place protected by either of the banks.

En passant – the shareholder can take out another shareholder if it’s not paying attention and trying to move too quickly.

Pawn at 8th rank – if it advances that far, it gets to work for the corporation by becoming one of the other pieces.
