If I have inspired Trigon Chess, then I count RectaHex as a success, a
veritable succectahex.

I first read of Glinski's game in my tattered copy of Boyer, with the
diagram of 'Echecs Hexagonaux de W. Glinski' right there on the cover; and
I always felt there was something wrong about the game. The rationale for
why the pieces move as they do is so logical and convincing that it is
hard to question the game; but something is wrong somewhere.

Perhaps Glinski is fine as is, but Rectahex should spur some new thinking.
