Halo Chess

 is a gametype variant falling under Insane in Halo: Reach. Like other variants of Insane, Chess has its own unique gameplay mechanics.

To create a map capable of playing chess a single hill marker must be placed in Forge with the label BOARD_CENTER. A full chess board with NPCs for chess pieces will then be automatically generated when playing on the map variant under the Halo Chess gametype. Currently the BOARD_CENTER label is only available with Halo Chess chosen in the Forge lobby and while editing Forge World, Tempest, or Anchor 9.
