CYLINDRICAL CHESS

A Fairy Chess in which the edges of the board are imagined to be joined like a cylinder. Piece can move from one side to the other without crossing the centre of the board. So, 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 g5 3. c3 is checkmate.

Whatever opinions people might have about Ilyumzhinov, I am sure that exactly those accusations by the US authorities are far-fetched. It looks more like a revenge for the 2014 FIDE elections which Kasparov lost to Ilyumzhinov by a wide margin. Vladimir Kramnik

I was pushed out of USSR by the hands of Petrosian and Karpov. But now, after 10 years, Petrosian is not longer alive and Karpov is not longer World Champion, so it seems that everything is in place now. Viktor Kortchnoi
1986 NIC
