hexagonal chess

Hexagonal chess is a group of chess variants played on boards composed of hexagon cells. The best known is Gliński's variant, played on a symmetric 91-cell hexagonal board. Since each hexagonal cell not on a board edge has six neighbor cells, there is generally increased mobility for pieces (that cannot move diagonally) compared to a standard orthogonal chessboard. For example, a rook on a hexboard usually has six natural directions for movement instead of four in the standard 8×8 board.
