Hi everyone, hope you are all fine and well.

Alright, I see I actually said 12 years ago nearly that Part 2 would be out soon, so, omg, I'm so sorry, no excuses, I'm just sorry about that ok!!

Let me just say, 'Part 2' will be coming out. Over the years, work has been done on it. I went through the A to Z of games on this site, so many games, so many different Fairy pieces!! At time's I had to stop, it was overwhelming, so much info, in so many diff places stored on my computer, lol, did I go insane at diff points of time, I think I did!!

I do have time now to work on things, and I am. The problem also was, Part 2 is so big it can't be done in one release. It's like a monster, but I think I know how to do it, it will be done in parts, like, 'Fairy Pieces Part 2, Volume 1'. That is the only way. I will get back to you soon (lol) about when I think it will happen.

Oh, Bob, I see you said 'I don't know where Part 2 would draw its material, but I'd love to see more!'

Part 2 is Fairy pieces from everywhere around the world OUTSIDE of Japan, so, just not Shogi pieces, everything else, meaning, so many pieces of course.

Last thing for now, I have noticed that when I stopped doing Part 1 it was cause of the size of the file, 154 pieces, I actually think there could be a 'Fairy Pieces Part 1, Volume 2' release, but I can't get distracted on that right now.

Alright, just will check Part 2 from what I have right now and work out when it can be done!!

Oh, and thanks must go to Byrne Takeshita here on chessvariants for getting me to feel enlivened to do this!! Thanks so much!!
