Infinite chess is such a cool concept. It sounds stupid at first, but there's some intriguing mathematical analysis, especially w.r.t checkmating

Example: in this position, White has forced mate in X, where X is (oddly) a function of the number of squares the black rook moves backwards.

Have you ever played a game where you can't win without help from your opponents?

TIL about Zoo Vadis, where making progress requires majority votes from your adversaries. You win by strategically negotiating deals, and any exchange is fair game. Fascinating stuff!
