Ribbon Boards. Make light, handsome, reshapable Chess variant boards out of Christmas ribbons.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This looks like a neat approach, and very portable. You could make a ring board with this technique by using a third and fourth colors for the outer ranks and files. Using red, green, white and silver, for example, use:
<pre><blockquote>
r g g g g g g g g r
</blockquote></pre>
for the files, and
<pre><blockquote>
s w w w w w w w w s
</blockquote></pre>
for the ranks.

The only question I have is how flat do the boards lie? Is it necessary to use weighted Chess pieces, or will even light-weight plastic pieces remain reliably upright?

Oh, and some pictures might be nice.
