13 Dec 2000None Correction: Actually this game is very similar to chess on infinite size board which is regular chess played on infinite sized board with a stipulation that For Each piece there exist another piece that is within 8 spaces away, put it another way for each piece there is a 8x8 square that includes at least another piece in it. And the pawn rule is changed to that pawns can promote if it is on a rank beyond which (in the forward direction) there is no opponent pieces. In practice, of course this game does not really need a infinite sized board but a ever changing board.
