Intriguing if frustrating clip from a Soviet cartoon in this tweet. Isn't that a chess set at the start?

".... Isn't that a chess set at the start?"



Yes.

The 7x7 board in the first cartoon was clearly NOT a chess board. Nor even a chess variant. I have never heard of a chess board with an odd number of squares.
The wonderful second cartoon on the other hand, even had the board round the right way.

Entropy (see viewtopic.php?f=46&t=10745) is played on a 7x7 board. I gave you a set some years ago.

[Kevin Thurlow]

It looks like 7x6 to me.

I think those might be knights and a bishop. I also think that cartoons don't necessarily depict objects in the way they appear in the real world
