Hashing Data with Chess

13^64 different boards (64 bits where each bit can have 13 possible states), it's still less than the 2^256 different SHA256 hashes, but it's better than the 2^160 possibilities of SHA1.

Add a second board and you go up to 13^128 which is a LOT more than SHA256 :)

While quite inefficient to generate a hash, we would have far less collisions and a visual rendering of the hash (the QR code of hashes!).

Fun read!
