Interesting. I have a question regarding the starting position... the bishop on e3 which sees to h6. It also attacks a7 and b8?

I have a question. Is there any checkmate? Can you give me a screenshot?
7RON1C, you got it! Its difficult to calculate everything so some illegal moves may not be realized but there are great tactical ideas; I have watched people attack from behind.
MrXX2018, Here is a common linear checkmate.

Linear Chess
Linear chess was created in Colorado in 1996 by me and is a chess variation where all sides of the board are connected, and the pieces may move in linear lines off the board to the other side. For example, the Rook on g2 may move to b2. The pawns are arranged on the first and eighth rows so that they are considered back to back and can not attack each other in this position. The royal pieces (King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, and Knight) are arranged on the second and third rows in the phalanx position as shown in figure 1 below. The game is over when the king is checkmated.
In Linear Chess, the royal pieces engage each other first. Next, the pawn battle begins and determines who will promote. Finally, material advantage needs to be great enough to trap the king in the center of the board which is difficult because there are no edges so the king may jump from side to side. All chess rules are valid including en-passant except for castling which can not be performed in this position.
It has been played at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia Coalition complex between the British, French, and U.S. Forces in 1999 and 2000 during Operation Southern Watch as a side game between chess matches.
