Abstract.

Wythoff Queens is a classical combinatorial game related to very interesting mathematical results. An amazing one is the fact that the -positions are given by and where . In this paper, we analyze a different version where one player (Left) plays with a chess bishop and the other (Right) plays with a chess knight. The new game (call it Chessfights) lacks a Beatty sequence structure in the -positions as in Wythoff Queens. However, it is possible to formulate and prove some general results of a general recursive law which is a particular case of a Partizan Subtraction game.
