Haynie's Oblong Chess 128
Billy Haynie invented a large chess variant on a 16 by 8 board. It has big similarities to Double Chess of David Short, which has been invented a few years earlier, but the setup is slightly different.Rules
The game is played by two players on a board of 16 columns and 8 rows. All rules are as in orthodox chess, except the setup which is as follows.
Castling is possible and done in the following way: The king moves two squares towards the rook and then the rook goes over the king to the next square.
