See Large,Hexagonal for a list of 15 Large Variants with hexagons, including Fergus Duniho's Hex Shogi 81. The 'Large' label may have been inconsistently applied in the past. Getting back to my original proposal for a tag (or whatever the computerspeak is), I assume that both 'Large board' and 'Very Large board' can be clicked, if the inventor wishes to be listed in both categories. Note that a board 15 hexagons in diameter has 'only' 6x(1+2+3+4+5+6+7) + 1 = 169 cells, so it does not meet any of my conditions for a 'Very Large board'. The same holds true for a 3D variant on a 6x6x6 board.

INFINITE CHESS VARIANTS seem to be have been filed under 'Different shaped boards or squares'. I regard them as 'Very Large boards'. The reason we assign labels is to help both regular and new users search this site, using tools like Chess Variants Query. And Joe, '4' is a very large number of dimensions :>)
