I like very much tape chess, especially the variant played on a circular shape tape. It's a pity that there's no Game Courier preset for Tape chess. So far I've played only with Zillions. I like simple and clear games, just as this one is.

So I don’t understand. Bishop is just a Nightrider (repeats knight steps) or knight jumps OVER two squares to third one (by this it can reach all the squares in Tape chess)?

Since the Knight “moves” two squares and “jumps over” one, I'd go with the first interpretation: a Tape Chess Knight is a single‐leap TC Bishop. Iow they are Dabbabas/Dabbabariders

And what will be, if we stick a tape together as a Moebius Ring?

(per the page)

Since the ring basically is 1D (no ‘almost’ about it) and Möbius strips are a 2D idea (albeit realisable physically only bygoing into 2D/3D repectively) nothing special would happen; it'd be the same game
