- Hexagonal chess, McCooey's. Chess on a board, made out of hexes. Variant of Dave McCooey. (Cells: 91) (Recognized!) Author: Hans L. Bodlaender. Inventor: Dave McCooey.This variant is designed
to be as equivalent to orthodox chess as possible. It seems
perfectly playable and in my opinion, is the closest to orthodox
chess of any hexagonal variant. It is not a large chess variant
and does not use any unorthodox pieces.
