Spherical chessboard

what in the World!

the earth is flat

I don’t even get the normal chess, how tf do you do that one? 😂

A spherical chessboard would add a whole new level of strategy and creativity to the game! The curved surface could completely change movement and tactics. #Chess #Innovation #gamedesign

What a creative design 🤩

does gravity not exist in that room?

First thing I thought of was, how did a thought like that come to the head to create a chessboard like that 🤔

That world look great on my desk

Claude Shannon approximated number of unique board configurations at around 10^43, whereas more detailed calculations by Victor Allis and others suggest it could be closer to 10^46 or higher, taking into account the unique positions where at least one piece is on the board. These numbers account for the different types of pieces, their symmetries, and the indistinguishability of identical pieces like pawns or knights of the same color.
