wrote on I think that calling Hexes Chess a 'small' hexagonal chess variant is a mischaracterization. I believe it is an optimally sized hexagonal chess game, facillitating fast-paced, high-conflict play. It may be small compared to the hexagonal variants with 91 hexagons, but I think those variants are over-sized and ineffeicient. Hexes Chess, with its rotational symmetry accommodates a complete set of pieces on 54 hexagons. The beauty of a hexagonal format is precisely that it does more with less. I mean no disrespect to Glinski, McCooey, and others that have designed large hexagonal chess games, but this point seems to have been missed by them.
