If the board is expanded a little, you could have 3 player chess on a hexagonal board, each player starting in 1 of the 6 corners with 1 corner between them. For instance, the third player could be brown or grey to fit the colour theming. Play would go white, then grey, then black. winning would be interesting as both the opponents kings would have to be ckeckmated, or perhaps the rules can be tweaked to allow the capture of one king, then checkmating the other (the latter wold be preffered because setups would be possible to put the king of the player 2 moves away into check by the next player to have it be captured). Then it would be up to the next players to win against eachother, while the eliminated player's objective could either be to have the game ended as soon as possible, or to checkmate one of the other players' kings themself to get second.
You can play it without making the board bigger, too. Gotta set up the pieces a bit different to prevent the king from starting the game in check or allowing bishops to capture each other on move one, but it works and it's a lot of fun.
Maybe at some point! However, I don't think I will be adding cards to the non-square variants (at least not for quite a while) since it would be a coding nightmare lol
strange that pawns don't attack on the diagonal. every other piece has their movement translated directly so i wonder if there's a reason pawns were changed
-I'm confused, is --10:55-- not black discovering an attack on their own king from the rook? From what I know that shouldn't be allowed, right? Or is that a bug?- Edit: Guess I need to check a little further ahead before I comment ^^"
@@planteruines5619 diagonals are trickier to block here, but they cover less of the board, so each individual bishop might be weaker (debatable at the moment, and of course, the queen and king eat up those diagonals)
@@ulrikebeckmann4986they still are severely limited. They just look confusing is all. That’s one reason why there is a third bishop (ofc the other being the third color)
Game 1 you couldn’t stalemate him because you left 2 pawns alive giving him moves if the king is trapped
Hexagon is the Bestagon
(Edited: Dear God What have I started)
CGPgrey approved
Bestagons are Octagons. Don’t agree and youllbegon
@@Mernon4ym6661octagons don’t connect tho (without holes)
@@Mernon4ym6661 How dare you insult the greatest shape think octagons have done for the world, stop signs.
@@reallydontknowwhattoputhere i agree. octagons are the best
With this video existing, maybe hexagonal checkers can also exist since diagonals are defined.
hexagonal/triangular isometric chess when
I'm not sure if that's geometrically possible 😂
@@GreenLemonGamesmaybe three player then?
@@GreenLemonGames lmao
I would like to see a more "classical" game, where both players get more than 10 minutes. Especially since the rules aren't that ingrained yet

Are you planning on expanding the checkers vs chess? Like adding the cards from deckmate to give special abilities and stuff?

@@GreenLemonGames All right as long as you don’t give up on it.💯 it’s my favorite project you’ve made and it feel like you care about it the least😭
You've done it! Im happy for you
Where can you play
Multidimensional sphere chess when
Damn! Haxagon chess? I wonder what happen if we really make it in reality and play with friend
I really like the game
Pawns and bishops not defending each other is weird.
And pawns not being able to safely attack rooks.

We need nonogon chess
Its so hype
Obtuse Triangle when
I want to play with you sometime
Pawn 1
Rook 6
Knight 2
Bishop 1
Queen 10
material points
Hex Rook=7 pawn
Hex Knight=4 pawn
Hex Bishop=4 pawn
Hex Queen=12 pawn
all of the pieces got buffed except maybe bishop , but the diagonals are so unpredictable and there's three of them so ...

How many points is a knight worth here?
I'm not sure, but definitely more than a bishop
@@GreenLemonGamesyeah however the bishop is more anoying to look what they can do
