Computer analysis of the two versions of Byzantine chess

In the Byzantine Empire of 11-15 CE chess was played on the circular board. Two versions were known - REGULAR and SYMMETRIC. The difference between them is easy: the white queen is placed either on light (regular) or on dark square (symmetric). However, the computer analysis reveals the results of this 'small perturbation'.

The velocity translation in the game of "Life"

The velocity translation law for the patterns in the game of 'Life' is discovered. It is found for an arbitrary angle between the velocities in the moving reference frames. The formula differs from its physical prototype of special relativity but admits gentle reduction to the Galilean limit and provides absence of extra-light speeds.
