	Chess - BrainRook.com
		Chess is like a triathlon, their are three parts to it, the opening, middlegame and the ending, three stages that are different.
		These days, chess endings are exciting and tend to get alot of focus in tournaments rather than the opening where people who finish their games early come and watch the top board players take each other on right until the last move.
		Most chess clubs have a mascot, or at least a tender juvenile who is exhibited to strangers as the local prodigy.

	Cylinder Chess
		The modern form of Cylinder Chess is in fact played on a normal board, but the right and left edges of the board are imagined to be joined in such a way that a piece can move off one edge and reappear at the opposite edge, moving in the same or a parallel line.
		The earliest cylinder chess problem may be (A) and the earliest example to show a complete circle move (sent to me by J. Dumont) may be (B).
		Following on from the last issue: it is of course also possible to form a cylinder by joining the fl and white sides instead of the king and queen sides, giving Horizontal Cylinder Chess, but on such a board the normal game-array is illegal, since both kings are in quadruple check.

		My two favorites are the Gorgon (moves like a Q but can't capture anything; however, every piece it attacks is "frozen") and the Chimera (moves like a Q but when it "captures" the piece taken goes to the square the Chimera came from).
		In Fairy Chess there is a piece called a Knight (Night?) Rider, which moves like an ordinary Knight, but if it makes a capture, may continue to move by capturing until it runs out of captures.
		One imagines a slower kind of game, a bit like mediaeval chess, but with more useful pieces (I dislike the chaturanga Elephant and Vizier - The former can visit just 8 squares on the board, and the vizier seems pitifully weak...).
