The board then became 8x7 and the final version of Simplified. I believe a Simplified Chess board is a good addition to the world of Chess variants. I did disagree with Mr. Lewis chopping off the last row in the initial Simplified Chess. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID MultiFormations does not match any item.
