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 ðŸ˜…
  • 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
