6 Player Chess
The Idea to develop the 6 player chess came to his mind in 2010 when He was playing chess with his father Mr. Sarowar Singh Bhati (recipient of the Indira Priyadarshini National Award in mathematics) a friend came in and asked if he could join in too were mere spectators. As a regular game of chess allows only two players, Hridayeshwar decided to make a chessboard where more than two people could play at a time. This led to two-year research and this young mind came up with 199 ideas for his unique chessboard. “But every plan had one drawback or another. I wanted a design that confirmed the established rules of the game”, said Hridayeshwar, a Class IV student. Finally in 2011, the 200th idea designed in six months, satisfied him. His father (a renowned maths teacher) assisted him in resolving the geometrical complications. Hridayeshwar ‘s chessboard is circular and a meter in diameter, where half-a-dozen players can play in teams of two or three players each. It has 228 playing squares instead of 64 in the traditional two-player board. The colors of the squares are regular, alternate light and dark and the pieces are divided into six colors, set to move in standard manner. All sets of pieces are separated by non-playing red rectangles between the respective rooks. This enables the board to keep the traditional moves intact. The design was sent to Kolkata based patent controller of Union government in July 2011. The patent certificate was issued on March 23, 2012, triggering celebration in the Bhati household. This brought in glory and a immense feeling of self confidence for this disabled boy who inspite of many problems managed to achieve something which very difficult to achieve.
