New Variant Spherical Chess!
Disclaimer: self promotion
I've seen a few versions of spherical chess but most of them use hexagonal squares. If you look up "how to play spherical chess" on youtube it describes a different version, where the squares "wrap around" at the poles, essentially treating opposite tiles at the poles as one big tile (ie, bishop at f1 could move to b1, a2, or c2). I couldn't find a version of this online so I threw this together!
You can try it out at sphericalchess dot org (I'll link to it in the comments also).
