Thank you for making the needed adjustments to the size of the board files! I do not know HTML, so that is greatly appreciated.
You have that right! It is amazing how many different variations there are on the theme of chess, and so many of them such fun to try! Thank you for commenting on the Hero piece. This version of Wizard Chess I think is the most fun, though there is a lot to keep track of... If you play it some time, let me know what you think.
Are there any further issues that need to be addressed with this before it can be published? I think that I made the necessary corrections, but I am not sure if I missed anything. Thank you!
I am not sure what to do to correct this problem. All I did to make the images was to copy the image out of Excel and paste it into Paint.net and save it. I am not an uber-technical computer user and I truly do not know how to fix the number of pixels in an image. I am more than willing to make any fixes that I can, but to do this one myself would require some clear and simple instructions from someone who knows how to do it...
I have tried to re-size the boards one more time. If this still does not work, please let me know what I can do to fix it. Thank you for your patience with my lack of technical acumen!
I have saved the new images that I hope will be the correct size now. Here's hoping it worked...
I have added links to the Avery site, photos of different parts of the process and some of the sets made with this method. I believe that the article is ready for publication.
I am not a programmer, so if anyone would like to create a Zillions of Games file or a Game Courier preset of Arena Cheturshogqi, please feel free to do so, just be sure to let me know!
Your analysis of the rule is certainly valid. I considered not leaving that rule in and honestly only left that rule in as a "flavor" nod to Shogi. I figured that between the fact that you only have three pawns per player and many of them will end up mutated from being captured in the Arena, including or leaving that particular rule out wouldn't really make a huge difference in the gameplay. It could be interesting to play with your suggested rule change and see if that makes much of a difference or not over the course of a a series of games...
Could you please review this page and see if there is anything else needed before it can be published? Thank you!
The only reason I changed the name from King of the Hill to King of the Mountain was due to the comment below about not wanting to post a variant on the site with the same name as an existing variant elsewhere on the internet. While I do prefer King of the Hill, King of the Mountain is also fine with me.
I am not a programmer, so if anyone who is would like to make a Zillions file or a Game Courier preset for King of the Mountain, please feel free to do so. I only ask that you let me know.

I have replaced the board images with new board images with larger print for the rank and file markers and have sized the boards using your recommended coding.
