Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Manny Alvarez of Tampa Bay is producing 100 limited handcrafted boards of his new game Gatos, which is a Chess variant played on a diagonal board. It includes some different pieces with variant movements.
He’s trying to get it published.
This is not the first diagonal chess variant, by the way (or, rather, by a long shot).
