Balanced Design

Why Play It?

  • Play it to appreciate your creativity, thinking, imagination, intuition and insight.

  • Super X Chess is a game based on ideas emerging through systemic space. Systemic space creates new emergent properties to the system from the relationships of its lower-level components. It's what makes everything - atoms, water, love, interactivity, games, life - possible. Systemic emergence can be speculated to be behind the existence of all matter and energy. If this is true, then you have a chance to experience and understand more about the secret sauce behind the reality, life and love by playing Super X Chess.
