Invented by Laszlo Polgar this game is fast, dynamic and highly enjoyable. Amongst the large variety of board games, Polgar StarChess is one of the fastest and most interesting choices available. Even people who find classical chess too complicated are attracted to Polgar StarChess since the games are shorter and played on a smaller board. The rules are similar to classical chess but played on a star-shaped board with hexagon fields.
