Chaturanga on a board with 46 pentagonal cells. (8x5, Cells: 46) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] 💡📝Graeme Neatham wrote on Mon, Dec 3, 2007 04:52 AM UTC: 'Topological equivalence also does not lead to equivalence in game-mechanics.' Create a piece whose move is defined as: a series of steps away from the starting cell exiting each cell via a short side. Such a piece can be moved on the Penturanga board but not on the topologically equivalent hex-board. '...the fact remains that Penturanga is just a funny-looking hexagonal chess variant.' I'm afraid that is not a fact, it is, like mine, just an opinion - so may we just agree to differ? Cheers Graeme
