So, anyone up for a game of quantum chess?

Niel's Chess -- The Battle of the Quantum Age (Popular Physics)I remember an edition of Scientific American (must've been around '90) where someone made a b...... child of Go and Chess. Me and a friend of mine tried to play it several times but it always degenerated into extreme geekery. Same thing with the table top game Flat Top.

EDIT: BTW, I'm not really sure why I ended up posting this in this forum particularly. Feel free to "move" it.

I don't know how well this would work. The Queens would diffract through the pawn screen at the beginning of the game and checkmate the King before the first move!

That would be a handy time saver!

This is sort of like the tunneling efforts at Messines in WW1 or Petersburg in the Civil War (the battle of the crater). Quantum Tunneling is spookier but less climactic.
