DOUBLE EDIT: Wait shit the boards are 16x16.

I'm playing chess on an 8x8 board...

So should the board be made of wood? I'm thinking yes, with grains of obsidian. If I do a checkerboard pattern I've gotta do it right and do marble and obsidian. And put chess pieces on them.

Marble and obsidian sounds good already. If you do chess pieces you gotta do exactly the same - black obsidian pieces and white marble pieces. Bonus points awarded based on the following:

1 point for every generic dwarf pawn statue
3 points for any horse statue representing knights
3 points for any religious figure statues representing bishops
5 points for any statue of the mountainhomes or your fort representing rooks
9 points for any statue of your civ's queen
9001 points for any statue of your civ's king
9002 points for any statue of the leader of a civ opposing your civ

Mega-bonus for Dwarfen Logic playing chess.

Hmm... it could probably be done with creative Take-From and Give-To stockpiles, accessible/pathable only when the move would be legal and requested by the logic engine.

Actually, it would make for an interesting multiplayer/succession game.  A break from the usual DF game of Global Thermonulear War.

Hm. You're right. DF-Chess, and not HFS-chess either. Could be... Interesting. But with one move taking a few minutes, the upload/download wouldn't be easy. Unless each move used my constructed-wall pieces. Then they'd have to tear them down and build them over the right spot. Muahaha.

Whoo, tired-math is the best. 8x8 eh? Awesome.

Build your fortress in the style of a monopoly board!

Bonus:  Have the individual "Properties" be appropriately color-coded.
Bonus:  Mint several coins in the color of monopoly money.
Bonus:  Have the Railroads use a minecart system for transfer.
Bonus:  Have the water works have the fortress' water supply, and the electric company's source of power magma.
Superbonus:  Somehow make the "Go To Jail Space" sentence various dwarves (or invaders) to Jail.

If anyone else has ideas on this, feel free to input.
