Triangular chess explained

Triangular chess refers to a group of chess variants played on boards composed of triangular cells.

The best known is a chess variant for two players, Triangular Chess, invented by George R. Dekle Sr. in 1986. Dekle made another variation including fairy pieces which is called Tri-Chess. These two two-player games were included in World Game Review No. 10 edited by Michael Keller.

Russian Ilshat Tagiev, who introduced a "neutrality rule" to three-player chess in the mid-2000s, took out a patent for a three-person variant of triangular chess on a hexagonal board in 2009.^[1]
