el tablero es así: imaginen un tablero de 9x9 pero sin las dos casillas de las esquinas , luego se unen los extremos para que se unan en una sola linea..... ( mas adelante trataré de hacer un diagrama...)

Can anyone read this? I think it's in Spanish.

Yes it's Spanish. I don't see the page, only these lines:

ajedrez de doble movimiento , con piezas de movimientos singulares , y tablero semi redondo. >> chess with double move, with pieces having unique moves, and a semi-round board

el tablero es así: imaginen un tablero de 9x9 pero sin las dos casillas de las esquinas , luego se unen los extremos para que se unan en una sola linea..... ( mas adelante trataré de hacer un diagrama...)

the board is as this: imagine a 9x9 board but without the two (?) squares on the corners, so as the extremes can join in order to form a single line .... (later on, I will try to draw a diagram)

Is that like cylindrical chess?

Back‐of‐the‐envelope translation:

este ajedrez tiene un tablero modificado de 73 casillas .

This chess [variant] has a modified board of 73 squares.

las piezas adicionales a las convencionales son :

The pieces in addition to the conventional ones are:

un canciller : torre + caballo .

A Chancellor: Rook+Knight

el omega que mueve dos en diagonal y salta a la segunda casilla en diagonal ademas ,puede saltar a la 2da. casilla en ortogonal con una pieza de por medio.

The Omega which moves 2 diagonally and jumps to the seconddiagonal square; additionally it can jump to the 2nd square orthogonally with a piece in between.

los peones se llaman columnas y pueden tambien mover una casilla en diagonal hacia atras en ambas direcciones si estas estan desocupadas.

Pawns are called Columns and can also move one square diagonally backwards in either direction if these are vacant

el rey es un Emperador : rey + caballo .

The king is an Emperor: King+Knight

reglas especiales :

Special Rules:

_se mueven dos fichas por turno pero solo se puede comer una vez por turno.

• Two pieces are moved per turn but only one capture may be made per turn

_una ficha no se puede mover dos veces en un solo turno..

• A piece cannot move twice in one turn

_por cada 4 piezas que un bando atrape obliga en el siguiente turno de su adversario a que reinicie una de las piezas que haya capturado como aliada.

• For every four pieces captures by a side, his opponent is obliged on his next turn to reintroduce one of the pieces he has captured on his side

_las piezas iniciadas comienzan en cualquier casilla de la 1era. fila de su bando.

• [Re‐]introduced pieces begin on any square on the 1st file of their side

_cuando un rey está en jaque puede salir de un mate intercambiando 2 piezas de jerarquia () por un cambio de posición hacia una casilla que esté libre. (es opcional).

• When a king [i.e. an emperor?] is in check he can escape mate by exchanging two pieces of hierarchy () [sic] for a change of position to an empty space (this is optional)

_el atacante escoge una pieza y la inicia como aliada , el atacado escoge la otra pieza..

• The attacker chooses a piece and introduces it on his side; the attackee selects the other piece


As to the “two” corner squares, removing two squares from each corner of a 9×9 board does in fact leave 73 squares, though whether the second square is vertically or horizontally adjacent to the square in the corner remains unclear. Presumably the promised diagram will clarify.

I don't see the page, only these lines:

Any members can see unpublished pages when they're logged in. I expect you were not logged in yet.

(later on, I will try to draw a diagram)

So we're still waiting for a diagram. Okay.

Deleting, because the author has not been active since 2021, this is his only submission, and it is just a paragraph in Spanish, which is not the native language of any editor here.
