There are many different ways to play a thrilling game of Chess. While a traditional game on a normal board can provide you with a great thrill and a chance to exercise your brain, there are alternative approaches to a lively game of Chess. Many different people have invented various approaches to the game of Chess, some of which rely on different boards, some on different pieces. All of these games are provided, however, to give a different perspective on Chess, allowing you to think more outside of the box, approaching the problems from a new angle.
One such famous example would come in the form of Glinksi's Hexagonal Chess. This board, which was first used in 1936, is a bit larger than a traditional board, having 11 ranks and files. The spaces are three colors, with a light, a dark, and a gray theme. The pieces move a little differently than in a traditional game, although they do keep to the same basic theme. This version of the game forces you to think a little more creatively in the adoption of strategy and tactics, as it is easier to miss the possibility of seeing an oncoming attack.
