Six-Player Circular Chess

This version of Six-Player Circular Chess is designed by Hridayeshwar Singh Bhati.

Bhati's version of multiplayer chess is played on a circular board composed of four concentric rings with a large central blank area. Each player begins with the standard starting arrangement, positioned so that two files separate adjacent players. On the first rank, the two isolating squares between players are marked in red and cannot be occupied by any piece.

When a piece's movement path intersects the central circular zone, it may continue from the corresponding point on the opposite side of the board, maintaining its original direction of movement.
