Ambiguous diagram
I believe that the first diagram ("Cylinder chess") is ambiguous. As I see it, the possible moves on the diagram are not not specific to cylinder chess: they are also allowed in toroidal chess. A diagram representing the moves of a knight would me more appropriate: the allowed moves would be different for cylindrical and toroidal chess. 82.229.209.33 10:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
We call this round chess due to the shape of the board we play this on. The "squares" are much fatter on the outside than the inside. 75.42.88.194 23:58, 28 July 2007 (UTC)Joshua
[edit] Notability concerns
Could someone please explain to me what makes this chess variant notable ? SyG 20:44, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- This variant is known since long time and often used in chess problems. There are many reliable sources for it, including secondary sources. I myself have 2 books, where cylinder chess is described in detail (one by Pritchard and another by Gik, see article's references section). Andreas Kaufmann 21:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
