19 Apr 2001 None I am surprised to see that someone else has a taste for Hex Chess. I actually purchased a Hex Chess Board by parker brothers in 1986. Very close to your design with the exception it has three sets of pieces and is for 2 or 3 players. The only thing it doesent have in the instructions is a Castleing move or en-passant.

7 Apr 2001 Excellent A fine description of McCooey's variant. This is the sanest hexagonal variant I have seen and closest to orthodox chess. I highly recommend this variant to anyone interested in Hexagonal Chess. This game is also perfect for those who prefer orthodox chess and don't want to venture too far from home. The sample games provide a varied and useful introduction to the game. Dave is a USCF rated Expert and this becomes apparent when playing over the sample games. He not only understands chess, he understands Hexagonal chess. The review of this variant provides some history of its development and an interesting comparison/contrast with orthodox Chess. Both Dave McCooey and the reviewer are freely available to answer questions and play games.
