Round Honeycomb Chess is fundamentally a cross between two well-known families of variants: Circular Chess (also known as Cylindrical Chess, depending on how the board is depicted) and Hexagonal Chess. I thought putting the two together would bring up some interesting possibilities for play, so I set about designing a board and programming a Zillions of Games file for it.

I have programmed three variants, each using a different kind of pawn-like piece.

Anybody familiar with Glinski's or McCooey's should be able to grasp the basic concept of this game without any effort.
