That is pretty dang cool.
I would imagine that they move just like normal chess pieces, but have special rules for crossing the center which match their original style of movement.
There are at least two ways the rules can be written: 1) One can veer left or right upon crossing borders. 2) All curves are treated as straight such that one's left pieces turn left and ones right pieces veer right.
The latter is more likely. An example of set moves would thus be:
Right rook (in players right field) to right players field. 90º turn, rt. rook across right players field. 90º turn, rt. rook into left players field. 90º turn, rt. rook across left players field. 90º turn, rt. rook into players left field. 90º turn, rt. rook across players field returning to original position.
In other words, what would have been a four turn square around the board, now becomes a six turn hexagon around the board.
