HOW TO PLAY IN BRIEF
Glinski's hexagonal chess uses a 91-cell board in three colours. Each side has a king, queen, two rooks, three bishops (one for each cell colour), two knights and nine pawns. Rooks move in six straight directions, bishops in six diagonal directions, the queen combines both, the king moves one cell in any of those twelve directions, and knights jump to any of twelve cells. Pawns move straight forward one cell (two from their starting cells) and capture one cell diagonally forward. There is no castling. Stalemate is not a draw: the player who stalemates scores 3/4 of a point.
