The Corinthian Games web site indicates that they are currently offering a special holiday price of $29.99 plus $7.00 shipping for their Ministers Chess (TM) game, invented by Professor Michael J. Corinthios.

The web site describes this game as “symmetric chess, employing a 19.5” x 19.5” folding board with MINISTERS™ 9 x 9 = 81 squares pattern on one side and Conventional chess pattern on the other; 36 tournament size (3 ¾” king, 2″ pawn) impact plastic chess pieces. This is the Third Edition. It contains two added GIFTS: a 19.5” x 19.5” vinyl roll-up board and a 12″x7″ cloth Chess bag. The king is flanked by two queens, each called “minister”, the historic name of the queen of chess, thus establishing the hitherto absent symmetry about the king; in a larger more powerful game. Whether against man or machine, no theory of openings is there to favor one player over the other. Of a highly educational value, MINISTERS™ teaches that it is never too late to change history.”
