Chess on an Infinite Plane - Huygens Option
Sort:
87...C(1,10)
88...C(0,8)
89...(-1,9)x(0,8)
I'm trying to decide if I should resign now, or make it a goal to get to move 100.
90.K(-1,4)
91...(-1,5)
92...Kx(-1,3)
93...(-1,4)
Ok, I resign. I think you have a mate-in-2 (move guard, and put your rook on file -1). I wish I could challenge you again, but I'm in a few games already. I hope to play again sometime. Great work- you played an excellent game. Final board diagram below.

Maybe that would be a better rule for the huygens. The only disadvantage is that you would need to think about which numbers are prime before each move (or have a list of them).
Some big prime numbers also have a lot of digits or are expressed with formulas. For example one prime number has more than 9,000,000 digits but can be written as "10,223 × 2^(31,172,165) + 1". But I'm not sure if anyone would want to move a chess-piece that far. I guess normal chess pieces can move really far also. So if a queen is allowed I suppose the huygens should be allowed also!
Btw, I'll consider other variations of this game too. Using one of the musketeer pieces on this board is also possible. I have an icon of the dragon (= Q + N) from musketeer which matches this board style.
Any new or existing players let me know if you wanna play!
What about this one?
