Because it makes zero sense.
Asher Wood
Why not? it looks cool to me.

At some point a game just gets overly complex (inb4 hurr brainlet) with no appreciable gain in pleasure. Ever play Warhammer? A 1000 point game is fun. A 10,000 point game is just a slog.

You can't cover a sphere with just squares. You'd have to throw a few pentagons to fill some spots.
Jace Kelly
I really don't think it would be that much more complex than standard chess.
Would still be fine, doesn't have to be all squares.
Adam Bennett
I agree about the size of the game, but would you have the same complaint if a standard chess board was projected onto a sphere?

>what is infinite chess
check and mate in [math]\omega^{2}[/math] turns

because a plane is not homeomorphic to a sphere
Ryder Wood
Because this is.
Paco sako is the future of chess

Had a look at their site, it looks cool but also a bit contrived. Is the gameplay actually interesting?

It sounds like a really boring game.
Josiah Sanchez
You are asking the wrong question.
Daniel Young
Pentagonal Chess board.
Christian Scott
but the extended complex numbers are homeomorphic to the reimann sphere
Tyler Rogers
i looked at the site as well. i was in chess clubs as a kid but lost interest. this looks like it could hold my interest intensely though.
Ryder Hill
It is, it's called regimental chess.
Isaiah King
Yes, it is surprisingly fun for the creation of a hipster.
Grayson Miller
This game is more fun to play against people of lower skill, as pieces remain on the board. So, there is always the possibility of a comeback if you lose your guard.
Jaxson Bailey
That is, more interesting than playing chess against noobs.

Oh wait, there is no concept of taking at all, just combining. I was confused for a bit but it sounds pretty cool then.
Ryan Watson
Yeah, you can play online in
AI is idiot, but I sometimes hang around you can also join the pacosako team on lichess
Dominic Torres
But the sphere though =(
Carter Jenkins
>(inb4 hurr brainlet)
Well, you are the one who said it.
You can make a game board like that, OP. Just use velcro.

You would not be able to play chess an a sphere. Grids to not map to spheres.
Fun fact: the game tetrisphere is actually played on a torus. The game just presents it like a sphere when you play.
