Sounds interesting. I'm trying to increase my skill with chess & I find the variations on it stimulate my enthusiasm.
Sounds great, making up a board now. Just a question though, when the moves for the queen are detailed it seems she can also make the moves of a knight... or how else can one explain the way she can move to the white squares in the outer most ring in the diagram detailing her moves??
Fiona is quite right - it does look as if the queen can do a knight move. This must have happened in expanding the board size, the arrow should point to the black on the diagonal. The queen can only (?) do bishop and rook as normal queens do. Apologies for any confusion. David Howe has very kindly volunteered to extend the arrow a tad. Thanks for the comment.
I feel that I must warn anyone wishing to purchaes a circular chess board from the circular chess society not to send any paymentr until they can be certain that they eill recieve a board . I sent a payment to the society back in marrh 2003 and despite several letters to the society I have as of 28th june not recieved a board even though my cheque was cashed. John Bishop
I have found a new link to the Circular Chess Society http://www.worldcircularchess.co.uk/ I'd like to add that the Society appears to have run into difficulties as there is no update to the site, and the info address is not working. I have not tried snail mail to Eamonn Hunt. Does anyone have any more information? Mark
I am also trying to get some up-to-date information about circular chess and in particular the 2005 championships. Can anyone help, or at least point me in the right direction?
Good game. can be played with normal chess board.
