0xChess
what is 0xChess?
chess on a hexagonal board that is not patented
how does it work?
- drag 'n drop your pieces to move
- piece movement works like on squares by converting diagonals and straights to a hex grid
- click on a piece to see how it can move
- you'll figure it out 😅
- no casteling
- no taking en passant
- reach the opposing back rank with a pawn to promote it
- you win if the opposite king is out of legal moves for the next turn
what's next?
- add tutorial / move info
- enable mirrored starting positions
- enable randomised starting positions
- enable clock games
- enable different boards
- enable different color themes
- enable concurrent games (maybe even accounts)
- make socket protocol more robust
what is not working?
visit 0xChess.org to
- play with notifications
- play with different screen formats
- play with Firefox (at all 😬)
