I've recently become interested in infinite chess (this [presentation from Joel David Hamkins](http://jdh.hamkins.org/transfinite-game-values-in-infinite-chess-bonn-january-2017/) talks a bit about it and some of the interesting mathematical questions). You can find another discussion of the mathematical properties of infinite chess [here](http://mathoverflow.net/questions/27967/decidability-of-chess-on-an-infinite-board).

My question is, has this variant been much explored by chess players (as opposed to mathematicians, not that they aren't also chess players)? Are there resources that explain the strategy for infinite chess? Do the principles that guide standard chess play change drastically for the infinite variant, or are they merely extended?
