What happens if the ball gets stuck on the edge of
the board? What about in the corners?

If I read the rules correctly, a Knight (and only a Knight) can get the
ball off the side or out of the corners.

The Knight kicks the ball (marked O) to the square marked by the
asterisk.

''In two words: IM-POSSIBLE'' --Samuel Goldwyn
The collosal four Dawson, Boyer, Parton and Betza. Betza was the last-gasp meteor for couple decades until his retirement in 2003. The glory years of chess variations were pre-Betza 1910-1970, with depth and discretion; and 1951 here chanced to see Boyer's Football Chess and death of Dawson.  Boyer, followed closely by Betza has the most full rules-sets in 1994 'ECV'. Internet's emergence brought steady declining interest in chess variants. The genre had shifted after Parton to personalized artistic chess expressions, and they still had back-alley corner within site CVPage. However, more and more the idiosyncratic alternatives gave way instead to considered Ortho-replacements like FRC and Gothic Chess and Circular Chess and many others. After all, there was compelling societal need to fill as the result of computer onslaught on 64 squares.
