Key Features of XYMYX
Simultaneous Moves:
Players move at the same time, eliminating the turn-based structure and adding a new layer of unpredictability and excitement. This speeds up the game, making it faster and more engaging. Players must think quickly and strategically, not just reactively, as both moves happen simultaneously.
Piece Collisions:
A new twist on the game allows two pieces to land on the same square, challenging traditional tactics and opening up new strategic possibilities. XYMYX introduces unique tactics where such collisions create dynamic situations, forcing players to plan carefully and consider the risk of collision.

A Grandmaster’s Perspective
- “Xymyx attracted me because of the fantasy it evokes—different kinds of moves that had never been created or experienced before. All the piece movements are the same as in chess, but Xymyx offers so many new possibilities. It develops intuition, helps with planning strategies, and above all, it’s a lot of fun. It really exercises our mental abilities.”
- Marta Fierro, Woman Grandmaster (WGM) and Gold Medalist, World Mind Sports Games, Beijing

- “Xymyx is a wonderful new idea. It combines the essence of classical chess with the thrill of risk. Both players move simultaneously, so much of the strategy lies in anticipating your opponent’s actions—far more than in traditional chess.
- This is the best innovation since bughouse. No new pieces, no new board—just a different rhythm of play. A simple yet powerful idea. It has the potential to find a great market.”
