@ Jean-Louis: I will add a link to the Avery site. Avery is a company that makes office supplies, in this case sticker labels designed to be used with Microsoft Word or other word processing programs. They provide templates that can be used by the word processing programs to ensure that the spacing will be correct for printing on their labels.

I am well aware that there are many variants available commercially and on other sites that are not on the CVP. I merely thought from reading the instructions regarding posting a new game on the CVP that the intent was to not have multiple member created games on the CVP site with the same name. Thank you for clarifying that for me. It may be helpful to make that a bit more clear in the "How to Post Your Own" article as well.

Thank you for the kind comment! I had been off the site for quite a few years and am only just now getting back onto the site regularly, so I apologize for the huge delay in responding! :)

I can certainly include some photos of some sets that I have printed with this method, as well as some of the steps along the way. It is a really good idea to include the visuals. It may take me a few days to do so, since I do not have any photos of the steps of the process and I will have to make another set to get them. Bummer! I have to print a new chess variant! ;)

I had not seen your hexagonal board article yet, thank you for including a link to it! I have not yet been able to catch up to all of the things posted since I last frequented the site many years ago. May I have your permission to edit the text to include a link to your article on making the hexagonal board?

I have changed the name to "King of the Mountain" and I have added the link to the piececlopedia as well as editing the text of the setup section using the rank and file wording and including the example using the board square references. If there is anything else that you think needs to be added, edited or clarified, please let me know. Thank you so much for your time and effort to make this website the excellent site that it is!

@Jean-Louis Cazaux. Thank you for the instructions, I will update the page to link to the Kangaroo (Newton) entry in the piececlopedia.

I searched the index of existing games alphabetically as you suggest in the article on posting new games and I did not find any reference to an existing game named King of the Hill. I will modify my game's name, but you might want to check and see if all games are properly coming up when and alpha index search is done...

Please review this game for publication. Thank you so much!

By the way, I was not sure how to make the link from the Kangaroo to the piececlopedia entry for Kangaroo (Newton), so if you could please add that I would appreciate it very much!
