I've heard of non-edge variants of chess, but I hadn't read this specific page until just recently. The game seems interesting and might eliminate the usual "going for the center in the opening" strategy. Still, I can't help but wonder if the king might be tough to mate if there are no right and left edges. Can a knight, bishop and king mate the lone opponent king?
Maybe they should make a restriction on the king - he is restricted to the usual board edges perhaps?
In interesting variant that has a board geometry somewhat like that of Circular Chess.
The page for this game was very old and the content wasn't really appropriate as a formal description of this historic game, so I have completely rewritten it. The original version can still be found here.
