"Of Circles and Kings" -- Two easy-to-learn Chess Varients

Pages 23-26, plus two sets of chess layouts

An article explaining the history of Circular Chess, as well as contemporary rules for playing the game, along with a "pull out" board showing how the circular chess board is laid out, and the starting position of the pieces. Also included in the article was a piece on four-handed chess, which is a variant played by four people playing on two teams.

Written under my Society of Creative Anarchronism name of Roberto de Jerez, this is one of the few purely non-fiction pieces I ever got published.

A funny thing of note: a typo that occurs on page 23, where I discuss the differences between the circular board and a normal board. The line a "normal chess board" was mistakenly typeset as a "Norman chess board" in the text.
