EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX! Chess. A game designed to be as different to chess as possible while still being the same as chess. (1x72, Cells: 72) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Jared, your question is answered in a previous comment -- the inventor wants it to look like the players have different armies.

Now, I notice this game still uses a board. (How quaint!) I suggest replacing the board with a deck of cards, or perhaps a voice-operated game where a player tells the opponent what he wants the piece positions to be...

Simulating En Passant is what the Oranges are all about.

The idea of expressing 2d Chess as a 1d game has obvious extrapolation to expressing 3d or even 4d games in 2d. Of course this would use several Fires in a row, forming a Firewall - to go with the Computers and Keyboards, I suppose!
