Cross Chess in Cross Chess from Gliński's and Shafran's hexagonal variants, resulting in move possibilities more akin to standard chess. (E.g., a bishop has six diagonal move directions in Glinski's hex chess, whereas a Cross Chess bishop has four directions; a rook has six directions in Glinski's, whereas along ranks and on the Cross Chess board, it has four.) As with hex-based boards, three cell colors are used, but same-color cells highlight horizontal ranks on the Cross Chess board, not diagonals. The diagram shows the starting setup. Special rank and diagonal paths determine how pieces move, as described below. Check, checkmate, and
Cross section (geometry) plane containing a cross-section of the solid may be referred to as a "cutting plane". The shape of the cross-section of a solid may depend upon the orientation of the cutting plane to the solid. For instance, while all the cross-sections of a ball are disks, the cross-sections of a cube depend on how the cutting plane is related to the cube. If the cutting plane is perpendicular to a line joining the centers of two opposite faces of the cube, the cross-section will be a square, however, if the cutting plane is perpendicular to a diagonal of the cube
