Attention math and chess nerds: i have discovered a chess variant called cylinder chess! As the name implies, its chess but the board is a cylinder - the a file and the h file are next to each other. There is an website called cylinderchess.com if you want to mess around with it!
#chess#math#topology#cool chess#someone check it out!#its like normal chess#but its on a cylinder#this means the queen can deliver double checks by herself#the piece values are gonna have to be reevaluated#every diagonal is a long diag for bishops#queens can double check#rooks are connected even with a piece “inbetween” them#pawns can capture on the a file from the h file#knights are.... mostly the same
