Looks like it works. Thanks to you Ben and Fergus!
I don't know how I had found it worked. Today, it doesn't work, I'm asked the pwd for fairmirza.
As for all other pages where I had a link to the Shako pages, actually large.dir/shako.html , indeed I get a 404 now. So I have to modify all my pages one by one, and if other pages from other authors have made a link to my Shako, now it's dead.

What doesn't work? The new URL for this page works, and the old URL goes to a 404 page with a link to the new URL, which is what it is supposed to do.

What? I don't know what you're saying.
Fergus, Ben made changes that were supposed to let me edit the page for Shako to modify it. Please read Ben's comment. I can edit the page (this is why I thought it worked) but I can't save because I'm asking the pwd from someone else (faizmirza).
On the 404 page, it would be nice if the link with the new URL could be put above the picture and not below, because as it is, it needs to scroll down the page to see it.
Thanks
I just switched the order in which you and Hans are listed as authors. See if that makes a difference.
Yes, it's efficient. Now I can edit and save. Thank you.
I cannot love Courier-Spiel, but I (heart) Shako. Revising my [2006-08-12] comment: Unicorn=10, Queen=10, Chancellor=9, Rook=5.5, Lion=5. Bishop=3.5, Knight=3, Elephant=2.75, Pawn=1 are endgame piece values (for Shako and Unicorn Great Chess) which preserve some formulas I firmly believe in, namely Q+P = R+R and Q = R+B+P and R+P = B+N. The Cannon should be worth 4 Pawns at the start of the game, but decline to half the value of a Rook in the early endgame (2.75 Pawns). I consider short range pieces to have more value than Antoine Fourrière gives them in his Comment. Even the lowly Ferz should be worth 1.5 Pawns on a 10x10 board.

I've converted this article to a member-submitted one; i.e., it is now database-stored rather than hard html-stored.
@Jean-Louis, you should be able to edit this using the site forms.
@everyone, let me know if there are any issues with this migration. It should have inherited all the favorites, comments, index entries, etc. (it has the old ItemID).
The old page has been renamed to
/large.dir/shako-old.html
for reference; anyone attempting to reach/large.dir/shako.html
will receive a 404 error page that includes a link to the location of this member submission.Thanks to Fergus for improving the migration methodology I had discussed earlier in this thread!
