Toroidal Chess

description Toroidal Chess Overview

Toroidal chess is a chess variant played on a board whose opposite edges are connected. A piece that moves beyond one edge reappears at the corresponding position on the opposite edge, so the board behaves like a torus rather than a flat rectangle. This wrap-around geometry removes ordinary edge boundaries and changes the range and direction of attacks. The variant is part of the family of fairy-chess games that alter the board or movement rules.
