About
Ultima, or Baroque Chess, is a chess variant invented in 1962 by Robert Abbott. Whereas in chess, all captures are made by replacement (taking the victim's square), in Ultima each piece has a distinct method of capture - such as jumping, pinching, wihdrawing, immobilization or chameleon. For a complete description of play see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque_chess.
