Circular Chess Online

Sort:
alexandermatos

Rules: Same rules as regular chess, except with a few rule changes just like in Double Chess. Any move that moves a piece around the board and back to its original square will not be permitted. A pawn is promoted after moving six squares from its original position. Castling and en passant are not allowed in this variant. 

Participation- Just say sign-up to play, and the first two players to do so get to play this variant.

@2Ke21-0 is white and @DukeOfHelsinki is black. The time control is 3 days per move with no vacation time. If a player has not moved in 3 or more days, a timeout warning will be called. Players have 24 hours to respond after a timeout warning. Circular chess is a popular variant with a whole branch of theory dedicated to it. Right now, it is @2Ke21-0's turn

how do you make a chessboard circle like that?

The starting position is essentially obtained from that of orthodox chess by cutting the board in half and bending the two halves to join at the ends.
