KenTron or the bees chess. This game opposes two swarms of bees that fight for a 91-hexagon beehive. The player's pieces and their movements are: a queen (one hex in any direction), drones (jump over adjacent hexes), adult workers (any number of hexes in any direction, no jumps allowed), young workers (one hex forward). If a young worker reaches one of the 5
opponent’s pollen hexes she is promoted to an adult worker. If a bee finds an opponent’s bee in one of the hexes where she could arrive, she can kill her. When a queen is threatened by an opponent’s bee and she cannot escape to a safe hex nor she cannot protect herself with another bee, the player loses the game.
Our word "centre" is a word that we have inherited from Ancient Greek. The greeks called kentron the centre of a circumference, because kentron was the compass needle. But the primitive meaning of kentron was the insect sting. Kentron also meant "the spike of the spear", and this is the name that this chess-like game recieves.
