well i think i like the original, that is as you say, more complex, i don't think you should worry if it is a 'chess variant' or not, i rather like the idea of it not being a chess variant actually. i mean, the pieces are very 'chessy' anyway, it just doesn't have the 'mate' or 'capture king' rule. you can always try 2 variants if this is a 'worry' to you. updated--> oh wait, now it is more complex? i really would need to play this game .. anyway, still, i did like the idea of winning by getting both travellers to end of board, but i can't be sure without playing. regardless, it all sounds interesting, good etc.
