Chess with a shapeshifting board.

I would be interested to see if this could work. After each player has moved, the board changes shape and all the peices coordinates are translated into coordinates for the new board shape. Some possible board shapes are:

  • Regular board
  • Infinity symbol shaped board
  • Doughnut shaped board
  • circular chessboard
  • pacman chessboard (when you go off one end of the board you come out at the other end. Ei, the 9th rank is the 1st and the a file is the i file)
  • cylandral chessboard (the a file is the i file)
  • Spherical chess board (think of all the corners coming around and meeting at a point. Eg, a rook goes from a5 to a1, then continues to come out h1 going up the board to h4)

Super complicated, but stops you from getting bored.
