Hexa Chess refers to a group of chess variants played on boards composed of hexagon cells. The best known is Gliński's variant, played on a symmetric 91-cell hexagonal board.

Since each hexagonal cell not on a board edge has six neighbor cells, there is increased mobility for pieces compared to a standard orthogonal chessboard. (E.g., a rook has six natural directions for movement instead of four.) Three colours are typically used so that no two neighboring cells are the same colour, and a colour-restricted game piece such as the orthodox chess bishop usually comes in sets of three per player in order to maintain the game's balance.

king + two knights can checkmate a lone king;
king + rook beats king + knight (no fortress draws and a negligible number (0.0019%) of perpetual check draws);
king + rook beats king + bishop (no fortress draws and no perpetual check draws);
king + two bishops cannot checkmate a lone king, except for some very rare positions (0.17%);
king + knight + bishop cannot checkmate a lone king, except for some very rare positions (0.5%);
king + queen does not beat king + rook: 4.3% of the positions are perpetual check draws, and 37.2% are fortress draws;
king + rook can checkmate a lone king.
