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
From the Editor of Chess Life
Études Newsletter
“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.”
