I hope nobody gets mad that I posted this video, but it's an interesting one about chess on an infinite board (without the extra pieces). happy.png

Edit: vickalan already posted this video 2 years ago, sorry for double posting. I'll leave this thread here for the comments.

That’s a pretty good vid.

That's an interesting video. Notice that she says "we are playing with rules that excludes ties" (at appx 1:00). Our game can have draws (by repetition, or stalemate for example). But we don't have draws by the 50-move rule. I'm not sure how it affects the math.

The very end of the video also gets really strange - especially when she talks about the Omega-value. That's some very wild mathematical game endings. Strange stuff!😃😧😃

Btw, since we don't have the 50-move rule, I've always wondered what would happen if two players keep playing in a "tie" and neither agrees to a draw. Not sure if that would cause problems. But I don't like the 50 move rule because it's arbitrary.
