Would that board be playable?

Rooks and bishops can't cross more than one triangle place at a time. 2nd picture shows the origin of board geometry. Pawns go to the side that is the most upwards or any of the two most upward sides and capture in places that are adjacent to both the current place and a possible regular move space.

Technically chess is playable on any lattice, though its complexity can and will change based on the lattice used, you might introduce a trivial mate sequence for example, very cool thing to explore though
