You're insane.
Chess with a shapeshifting board.
Sort:
How did you reply so fast, and why did I post 2 identical forum topics?
I get an alert whenever there's a new forum post in one of my groups, and you probably made some sort of a mistake while posting, respectively.
yeah, but you replied before I had even finished accidentaly posting it a second time.
What I said was obvious and required virtually no thought.
hey, what about this: chess with a shapeshifting AND rotating board. BRILLIANT!
You're triply insane.
NO! Even better: alice (with 2 mirrors)-genisis-pocket mutation-omega-3D-crazyhouse-chess with a shapeshifting AND rotating board... it could be called INSANE HOUSE CHESS.
Also, you can by snipers, explosives, defusers and mines with the gold that you mine from the property you buy.
For the only slightly insane, there's Beyond Chess. Each turn you move a piece, and one square of the board.

About 80% of the free chatterbots on the web have restraining orders on me.

speaking of chatterbots, you should definately see this: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid263777539?bctid=1184431913 it's a chatterbot that is actually human like.
Won't load. Unless it normally takes this long.

You slide them one space over. Every square has to be connected to another square by at least one corner. It generally has to be an empty square, although there's also some rule about moving a pawn and a square at the same time.
So, on the first turn white could play pawn to e4, and then move h4 to his right. Now you would have an "i4" square but no "h4" square. Then black could play pawn to e5, and then move g4 to his left (white's right). Now you would have an "h4" again, but no "g4."
It's a commercial set, with a standard set of chess pieces, 34 white squares, and 34 black squares (yes, that's a few extra squares). So you can not only start with a normal board and change it as you play, but you can start with any weird board you can set up with the squares provided (and then change it as you play). Like taking the 16 central squares out and putting them along the edges instead.

Oh right. I thought you meant that you sent the squares back in time or into other dimenions or something.
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:
Super complicated, but stops you from getting bored.
