Spoiler: the biggest chess variant ever created

Sort:
Tails204

Now I am (as a man who always wanted to become a serious part of history) working on the largest playable chess variant, on an extremely big board (I'm sure that you can't even imagine it, like me!), which will be much bigger (but still visible and playable, using special markup) than Taikyoku shogi. This game was known as the biggest playable chess variant for many years.


Now, It's about time to say our own word! My game will be based on Western chess and I believe that we'll get something to be proud of! 
This game will contain special and full-described rules and all known playable fairy pieces (except wazirs, ferzes, dabbabas and other useless stuff like that). But even more, I'll create my own chess pieces for this game. And this game will be named after me.
It will be a serious project, perhaps, the most difficult project in my chess life.

Perhaps this project will be seriously ridiculous, and at the same time ridiculously serious. At least I'll try to do my best.
Stay on!

How big will the board be?

That's my main secret. I'll post the full game in July!

Colossal chess is bigger than Taikyoku Shogi, it has a 64x64 board

I will anyway support you, i love this idea, we could work together if you want, i've also had some nice experience with complex pieces and notation of them, ie betza and Multi-dimensional chess.

I believe to create a super large chess variant we could use 3D or 4D spaces. for example,  a 10^4 chessboard is already 10,000 spaces.

Although 4D is too complex for most people, i think a 16³ is great. 4096 spaces.

I did invent an infinite chessboard variant, which creates copy of one board as new dimensions  when certain conditions are met.

This is not a real playable game due to the trash pieces like ferz, alibaba & etc.
We'll get another and the most effective way. It's not about a big board, (but my board will be the biggest), it is all about the variety in the pieces, and their interaction, subject to the same laws (or very similar to them!) which are used to write music. 

In this case, it will be a chess symphony, much more than just a chess symphony! I'm sure the listeners will enjoy it.

yeah, i know colossal chess is  too boring, a game that takes hours and is made with random trash pieces, just to create the biggest chess variant. i like the idea and if you are open, i will be happy to create this variant with you!

Thank you! I appreciate your support, and, if I will need something, we may start working together.

Here's the point:

 

It has a lot of useless pieces, like the ferz and other old spam, adopted by chess.com and added to the board just for the sake of adding new space.
I would like to assure all people that my game will be bigger and, unlike this variant, it will work!
I wanted to make something playable. And I'm certain that my game will remain in history!

TheUltraTrap

Actually eldar read 3d chess club I invented a variant with infinite dimensions so infinite board

HighEldar

What about infinite pieces, but arranged acccording to a seed say? But with only 1 king. Like chess with minecraft generation...

I'll finish my work as soon as possible! It will be a REAL success. And It will be a BIG victory.
I will create NEW WAYS, NEW SPACES and NEW PIECES. That will be the final word in chess variants making.

See ya soon, folks! I will remain in history with my jerrycan, full of champagne.

I've made an 38x23 chess game on paper, I will post it someday.
