the previous application (which was less a game you could play and more a board editor) on which this is presumably based on had problems in the trillions or even closer (nav can confirm)

so this is a huge improvement

Interesting thing, I had more time to work on the editor version years ago. I actually increased its limit so high you could fill your entire screen with your coordinates (probably over 10^500). I did that by adopting Big Decimals.

There's still some features in that version that I haven't yet brought over to the InfiniteChess.org version, those being the increased limit, being able to edit the board (in-game), highlighting squares, and viewing past moves.

But the InfiniteChess.org version in its current state I still think is a huge improvement, giving anyone with internet access to it, playable local and online games, and much more optimized allowing games with a million pieces to be played with a decent frame-rate, and someday, infinite pieces.

Soon all of these features will be brought over! I want to do them right though, polish them.

EDIT: And also SOUND EFFECTS the previous one didn't have!

I found a bug in infinite chess. It is irrelevant to almost everyone in any match, but I thought I should make it known. A few times now, I have tried to get as far as possible in any direction. At a certain point (I forgot to track exactly when, but I think it's around a few quadrillion) the board, pieces, and available spots to move all start to misalign. I can't perfectly describe it, but I've included some screenshots to help. There is one image for quick reference (yes, that Y value is real), and there is an imgur link to view a few more.

At distances that great there is some rounding happening. It's just a limitation of javascript's double-precision number system. Sometime I will upgrade to Big Decimals or similar, which will increase the limit without glitches to likely over 10^500!

Ok. 
Also, here's a quick update:

Might be a bit. In the meantime there's a spreadsheet editor available now!

I want to add these pieces: General (knight +king), Amazon (knight+queen),archbishop (knight +bishop) and knight rider (move like a knight but infinitely)

I was thinking about infinite chess earlier and I like the idea of infinite castling - being able to teleswap king and rook at any point.

Ilampozhil25

what?

new meta:

1) R (-100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,0)

2) swap king with that rook

3) R (5, -1)

4) R (1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,-1) whenever king gets attacked,

swap king with that rook

can be curated to not have problems with diagonal movers, orthogonal movers, and hippogonal movers

 your thing needs limits

All of these except the Knightrider have been added already! But the general is under a different name- Centuar, which is already functioning, but a variant featuring it is coming soon. Knightrider is planned!

ekaustville

maybe make this mate in omega setup (infinite line of pawns, a rook, queens at the bottom, push all pawns to free queens)

I just played my first game against an actual player besides myself. Infinite chess is a great idea.

Umm, so when will these pieces be added?
