There are many large chess variants with a variety of 'moving pieces' and Kings. GO is simply not a chess variant. But, perhaps Joe is being sarcastic? In regard to his statement that 'the general trend is the larger the board, the fewer the pieces, and the ranges in 'linear' distance often decrease' ... that certainly seems opposite of what I've seen. But, subtle jokes and sarcasm are plenty in the comments these days, so, perhaps Joe is just having some fun here.
