'Each individual component is simple, easily explained, and visually obvious.' It's visually obvious to know how they move, but to visualize their actual move? It's too soon for me to say whether one can get used enough to very large boards to be able to visualize pieces that move in multiples of four. I would imagine one can get acclimatized to it, but since I have little experience in this area, I don't know. For right now, I am thinking that my eyes will have to switch back and forth from the numbers on the side to the board and I will have to make constant arithmetic calculations, but maybe in a couple of 'generations' this will be looked upon as a small board cv. lol. You may have let out a genie here, Joe. When I play Quinquereme Chess, I am constantly having to trace out the movements of the Quintessential pieces because it is not inherently obvious where the Quintessential pieces will end up. These linear pieces may be more evident, but that remains to be seen.
