I'm having trouble deciding if I ought to favor the red region or the green.
However, I do hesitate with the yellow-orange region being the most important. The absence of the center squares create a massive hindrance to forward, backwards and some diagonal maneuvers.
This...actually seems intriguing. Is there any place on the internet to play this variant?
It was, but you need java installed.
Ah, good ole play.chessvariants.org
Unfortunately, the last multiple times I attempted to use it, the java system was not only extremely out of date, none of the original programmers had bothered to touch it in so long. It didn't work anymore.
BattleChessGN18: Another way to play this variation is to play it on your your local chess club.
Well, yeah, obviously.
On the other hand, I was responding to your bringing up play.chessvariants.org.
Not so much so.
You should check out Ace569er's variant (and my variation to it!) for hypermodernism. =)

You've removed the center, but you're still valuing it, which is wrong. a4, a5, b4 and b5 would be worth more than c4 and c5, just look at the diagonals.
What removing the center does is massively slow down play because it will always be restricted to 3 files. This seems very drawish unless you somehow altered pieces. I'd suggest maybe 4-5 pawns for each player, and including a new long range piece.
As I similarly said, removing the center does hinder a lot of forward and diagonal moves and renders backwards moves pointless and improductive.
It is not completely clear to me if it is just so that the center can not be used to place pieces in. Or it is so that it can either not be passed through. That will make a big difference.
Given the conversation, I would assume the latter.
There's been ample opportunity for the OP to clarify that the center is only unusuable but still penetrable, when two or three members have spoken out about major hindrance the assumed blocks would have caused. Since he did not respond to correct this, he probably meant the missing squares to be a block.
Presumably there would be a raised area, or a hole in the centre of the board in which pieces cannot be placed?
The chessboard Sierpinski-Einstein-Rosen is a conception which offers to chess and to mathematical thought, the ability to manage a space with two dimensions but with a multiplicity of times due to the central obstacle and simultaneously the hyper move which the blue squares allow. This way and because of the addition of the pieces while the rest of the chess rules are kept the same, we have a game not only more complex but also more creative in terms of studies and the mat. The chessboard SER is ideal for all those who know how to overcome difficult obstacles. https://youtu.be/bYDsUfaL7p4
mitsakos33, I'm having trouble finding a site with just a simple explanation of the rules for that board and those pieces. Obviously it's centerless chess on 9 by 9 squares and there's something extra with the blue squares, and in the vid I see some unknown pieces.
the blue squares are briges that you can move on them like a knight....check this video explains everything........https://youtu.be/_SEI9aLxxeo
