Chains of White and Black arrangements beating one another in the rock—paper—scissors way

Post by Alexander Poddiakov »

I am looking for those who may find the topic of chains of White and Black arrangements according to the rock—paper—scissors principle interesting.

Intransitive dice (such that the probabilities of die A winning against die B, B against C, C against D, and D against A are all the same) are well known

“Intransitive” means beating one another in the rock—paper—scissors way: A≻B, B≻C, C≻D, D≻A.

I study not stochastic intransitive dice but deterministic intransitive chess pieces’ arrangements.

I will be happy to receive feedback on the idea of White and Black arrangements beating one another in the rock—paper—scissors way.
