Our take on Non-Euclidean Chess
The focus on experimental boards and movement rules gives up the predictability of standard chess. That trade-off creates a broad set of variants, but players who rely on familiar board geometry must adapt to each mode's different structure.
What is Non-Euclidean Chess?
Non-Euclidean Chess is a chess engine built around custom board types and movement systems that depart from physical-board conventions.
Matches can be played locally or online against other players or AI. Its modes include games for multiple players, hyperbolic boards based on the Poincare disk, cubic and toroidal boards, Battle Royale Chess, Chesseract, Growth Chess, and Slider Chess. The game also includes additional modes and smaller variations. N-player Chess supports any number of players, including a stated example of 100 participants, although matches with that many players may take a long time.
