Lene Hau and light slowed to a fraction of 3.00x10^8 m/s, http://www.physicscentral.com/explore/people/hau.cfm, and so this CV by Betza. Rook piece takes 7 moves from b1 to b8 for instance. Also Liar's_Chess and

Hyperspace_Chess.

Thanks for pointing out this excellent game, George. David's comment leads back to several comments from a previous incarnation of this site, including 2 comments from gnohmon. I get an image of a speed version playing something like the old arcade game Missile Command. Here's the link David gave:

Rook a1 to a8, Betza explains, takes seven moves to complete, and in the meanwhile player makes other moves. ''Travelling pieces are committed to their journey.'' Classic Betza balancing seriousness and ridiculousness in his perfect tightrope, and sadly only one Paulowich comment probably means no one has looked at Lene Hau for seven years, lost in the shuffles, vagaries of variantism.
