Tic Tac Chec^*

Tic Tac Chec serves as both a chess teaching tool and a clever strategy game. Each player has four pieces: a knight, a rook, a bishop, and a pawn. The goal is to align your pieces in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line first. Players take turns placing a piece on an empty space on a 4x4 board, and once they have placed at least three, they can move, capture, or place another piece. Captured pieces are returned to the player and can be re-used on any free space.
