I love Chess and I've been playing it for a long time, but what if I told you there is a circular chess board? That's right, there is one.
Circular Chess
Rules: Just like chess, but there is a circular chess board. Pawns home ranks are 3 and 4. Pawns on a5, a6, j5, or j6 can en passant twice if there is a pawn on b4, b7, i4, or i7 and a pawn on c3, c8, h3, or h8. That is the only time pawns can en passant twice due to the position.
In regular chess, pawns can only en passant once.
The circular board means that without corners/edges, it's harder to checkmate.
It also means that Queens have fewer safe spots when it is at the edge.
At ranks 1 and 10, kings always have a maximum of 4 moves, if no piece is in the way and no piece is attacking the king's moves.
