Intellectual: pastimes or sport?As chess was a pastime of the kings,
while polo was the sport of eastern Kings.
Does variants of chess qualify as a sport within a pstime or solely as a pastime?

I'm sure mentioned in passing,
among other things,
i've been working on a version of hyper-chess or hyprechess or hyperchess,
anyway one version of many variants,
relies on a 64 by 64 or 4096 squares with 64 different pieces each with their own pawn on a rank in front of them.
Anyone see a successful or launched version of this game already?

What size is the board?

64 squares across and 64 squares depth.
64 multiplied by itself giving 4096 total squares.
It is partly a way to intellectually fine tune strategies used by computers on their/its own learning processes.
As normal chess has become easy enough for the tracking computer programmes used in decision making on the 8 x 8, 64 square board, an almost quantum jump is needed to continue the evolution of ideas in the field of mathematics and computing.
