This is fun! I totally destroyed my friend in this game. Gotta love being able to checkmate through a portal with one rook.

I would try to keep my backside closed, and just play a normal game of chess, while my opponent wastes time on the portal feature

can i en passant with backward pawns?

ShloKnight 11 ENE 2023 a las 15:09

So this is just that weird version on a roller with magnetic pieces but on a flat board with portals.... right?

@Sunset Moth [NO WAR!] I know exactly what you're talking about! It's called global chess, and only a few were made before the company that created it went bankrupt. I know a guy who used to own a board games shop who was an investor in that company and has one of the few copies of the game.

HOLY HELL
AND I THOUGHT BEYOND CHESS WAS AMAZING

Falconz 3 ABR 2018 a las 4:26

@MrNobodyX3 you should add ,sticked to the portal line of each player, a mirror copy of the connected part of the board to better see the moves you can do by passing the portal. if it can be toggle on/off would be perfect. really nice work btw, really enjoyed the game.

MrNobodyX3 [autor] 19 DIC 2017 a las 22:45

@brad1134 Just play like normal, the portal side pawns move backwards, and the edge of the board warps to the other side. For more read discription

brad1134 30 NOV 2017 a las 10:36

still confused. a video on how to play would be nice.

SchmonPokou 24 OCT 2017 a las 4:56

Now you,re thinking with PORTALS.

@Nath People seemed to like it like that so I never fixed

Nath 25 JUN 2017 a las 14:47

I am slightly bothered by how there are two extra rows if you go "backward" through the portals.

DizzyChimera 10 MAR 2017 a las 16:38

I met a dude once
I think he was homeless, IIRC it was a homeless help thing at a church?
he had this chess board that was actually round, all the pieces were magnets and stuck to it
it was cool
worked kinda like this

MrNobodyX3 [autor] 22 MAY 2016 a las 1:51

@alfredo094 read the rules

alfredo094 21 MAY 2016 a las 22:51

How the hell do you play this??

MrNobodyX3 [autor] 24 MAR 2016 a las 11:58

@Predator Leon already in the discription

GAMEMASTER 23 MAR 2016 a las 15:33

not sure how to play? description on how to maybe?

Jimtanis 25 DIC 2015 a las 17:24

Also, a good thing to remember for Chess is the white square should be on the players right (this would apply to the row the King and Queen are in...normally the end of the board). White on Right. Further confiming the author is correct :) Nice!

Millstone85 1 JUL 2015 a las 8:21

Yogoni has it correct. Each queen should start on a square of her own color.
At least, that's how regular chess does it.

MrNobodyX3 [autor] 1 JUL 2015 a las 3:06

@Yogoni Just looked it up, King in on the right side of the player. I have it correct.

@Millstone85 I know he made the portal side equal leigth to the standard battlefield. Something I asked earlier but no one responded so I left it.

Yogoni 1 JUL 2015 a las 2:22

black queen and king shuld switch place...

Millstone85 2 JUN 2015 a las 5:52

Someone named Timmitei has made a modified version of this.
No offense, but I think their version is an improvement.

MrNobodyX3 [autor] 14 MAR 2015 a las 15:03

@thefivetree as well I want to point out I just looked up the version you speak of. The of the other is to be the video game Portal in Chess form. This just fetures a refferance to the game in it's page image. Nothing more does it have to do with the video game series.

MrNobodyX3 [autor] 14 MAR 2015 a las 14:58

@thefivetree If you want to write a review comparing the two, that's fine. However don't just comment to denounce one version.

Uh, not sure. I played a game of Scrabble that had a bag spawner. So I think so.

7777 Tʜɛ Ӻ๑๛∂ß¡tξr 3 ENE 2015 a las 2:39

THIS SHIT IF FUCKING LEGIT!!!

If you know how to play chess you should be able to learn this in minutes. I ♥ you Portal Chess.

Thank you for making this, me and a friend had a real blast!!!.

One suggestion, please add Queen bags for each side for Pawn upgrades.

Jelly 5 DIC 2014 a las 16:53

You should consider adding side portals to the center of the field. Bishops and knights are much weaker now that the board is so rectangular and rooks/queens are riddiculously strong, to the point where the games are almost entirely about them. Side portals would generate much more interest for the other pieces involved.

Guy Ferrari 30 NOV 2014 a las 14:26

This is late input. but... Valve did not create the aspect of going through portals, they simply made a game that used portals as a huge part of it. Not only that, this bares no resemblence to Portal, it just has portals in it. Valve would be fools to try and go after something like this for copyright infringement.

F1 F3 1 OCT 2014 a las 12:11

I'm making a note here; huge success!

Zaxabock 26 SEP 2014 a las 11:15

You would be surprised at how little it takes to make someone willing to hire a lawyer for copyright claims when it comes to big game companies like Valve, and others.

MrNobodyX3 [autor] 26 SEP 2014 a las 3:10

Yes as reference, tho that alone can not stop me legally from claiming it as mine. However the public ownership of chess may (unlikely) cause issue. Under any means I will not even concider to do so as I have no interest.

Zaxabock 26 SEP 2014 a las 3:04

I'm on your side, but I have to tell you that's wrong. You are using a similar motive on your logo as portal (The chess piece going in and out of a portal), and the colors are similar too.

MrNobodyX3 [autor] 26 SEP 2014 a las 3:02

Apocalypse_Hero Not true as this contains no content of the series Portal that can be concidered copyrighted by Valve.

Apocalypse Hero 25 SEP 2014 a las 17:42

Actually this couldn't be copyrighted by MrNobodyX3 Becuase he would need the written consent from the creators of portal to be able to obtain copyright for a Portal remix of chess.

Zaxabock 9 SEP 2014 a las 22:45

Cool, I'm gonna try this out IRL with the Alice chess variant, might be interesting.

DBUFF 30 AGO 2014 a las 20:58

WoW awesome! It's really brilliant idea ! :)

Kavus Kazian 26 MAY 2014 a las 22:09

I second the motion to copyright and pitch this to a game company. I'm horrible at even regular chess, but I still think this is brilliant! And I don't even own the game to play it yet!
