Bishops take off diagonally to the new world to find other boards to civilize.

- Going to be hard for black to develop when they are guarding the rear

Qi-4 ...

Keep a bishop hidden behind the toilet until your opponent forgets about it
- always works even in regular chess :v
  
  Huh, I never noticed the toilet on a chess board.
- I should replay Portal 2...

You can actually play this at https://infinitechess.org/!
- So bishops, rooks, queens are OP. Knights are less useful due to limited range, and pawns are just as expendable as before.
- YOOOOO, definitely trying it out then!
- I thought this would be like donut chess, where your moves wrap around - but nope, infinite means infinite
  
  If it really is infinite then it will be difficult to prove that there are only 2 players.
  
  If moves wrap, aren’t you in checkmate at the very start?

!mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world when you see it
- What the absolute fuck were the tile layers thinking there? Jfc.
  I wonder if it's somewhere that's heavily Christian. I know some builders that always leave a small "mistake" in patterns cause "only Jesus is perfect"
  
  I bet it’s supposed to be a pseudo border around the whole room but we’re just seeing one wall so it looks super out of place. Can’t say it’s a design choice I would make though.
  
  Even if the pattern were laid out properly there's no way it's "perfect". There would be slight differences in height, alignments, etc. It comes down to a matter of how close you look, but it will never be flawless.
  Imagine the ego on someone like that who thinks their work would even come close to the supreme creator of the universe's level. They either think they're far more skilled than they are, or that their deity is far more flawed. Either way it's nonsense.

Now imagine multiple boards and you've got the MMO onemillionchessboards
- ah yeah true (might try this with my cousin for the memes)

Since people are linking to other twists on Chess, I'm a fan of 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel. Though, I will not try to say that I can wrap my head around it very well lol.
It's mind-wrinkling, but it somehow does actually seem to kind of work as a game.

This could be battle royale :D

Ah yes, a limitless duel of the minds in your local public restroom. Our battle will be legendary.
- The restroom is actually John Chess's natural habitat. You've been warned.

Queen is a ballistic nuke
- Maybe even a two stage RT-2PM Topol intercontinental ballistic missile?
- Nuclear chess exists
  Every take blows up around the pieces
  
  Sounds balanced

This is how the chess pieces escape the game and take over the world. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?
- MUHAHAHAHA

Basically minecraft (or luanti for Foss enthusiasts)

So when the king dies, the remaining losing pieces go into anabasis mode
