Hexagonal chess is a chess variant played on a hexagonal grid instead of the traditional square grid. The board typically consists of 91 hexagonal spaces, and each player starts with 16 pieces, similar to standard chess, but the pieces move according to the hexagonal layout. The movement rules are adjusted to suit the six directions of a hexagonal grid, which affects how pieces interact. For example, pawns move forward diagonally instead of straight ahead, and knights move in a pattern that is different from the standard L-shape. The goal of hexagonal chess remains the same as traditional chess: to checkmate the opponent’s king. The unique shape of the board and movement rules create a fresh and challenging twist on the classic game.
