       Show HN: Chess on a Donut/Torus and Deep-Dive
        
       Hey there! I just finished a youtube video explaining our donut
       chess in detail: https://youtu.be/iRcfHCPFgkM  So I thought it'd be
       cool to show it off here too- it can be played around with at
       mchess.io/donut - you can also set up an AI or online game on the
       site.  This is all indie dev work from a couple friends and myself.

       | Bonus points if you hit upon the other 2D projection that is
       | useful (I didn't)

       | 
       | Maybe when the page loads the torus should rotate around a bit
