Infinite Chess

description Infinite Chess Overview

Infinite Chess is a family of theoretical chess variants played on a board that extends without bound, rather than on the standard eight-by-eight board. The pieces retain chess-like movement and capture concepts, but the unbounded geometry changes questions about checkmate, strategy, and whether a position can be forced to a result. Mathematical analyses of infinite chess include positions whose game-theoretic values can involve transfinite ordinals.
