What an interesting observation i did not notice before, though i like
AltOrth chess and other twists with shape. It seems to me as being able to
open more paths of making curious chess interpretations.
The first idea that came in my head is to make a variant wich is
intermediate between Glinski and AltOrth hexchess - in same way as Betza's
Rectahex chess is intermediate between FIDE chess and my "Octagonal"
chess (hex of hex!)... But then i realized that such game would be
asymmetrical and ambiguous, just after noticing that difference between
numbers of directions of rook and forerook is odd.
