A second reply to Sam Trenholme:  I agree with you that images or symbols
would improve the cosmetics of the diagram of the board (an actual board
would of course look different altogether), but designing symbols is not
a
strong point of mine.  I would say, however, that the symbol of the game
is
that of the TrueBorn Banner which shows, against a light blue background,
the right foreleg, stretched forward, of an orange coloured tiger with a
stick insect standing on his paw. She is bright green in colour.  The
viewpoint is through the eyes of the tiger.
Implementation of anything these days is unfortunately very expensive and
requires solid and extensive (and costly) business advice and so I feel
this must await the correct time.
I do not intend a simplified form of Dragon.  There is, however, a
simplified form of TigerChess called LancerChess contained within the
rules of TigerChess.  This game can be learnt and played relatively
quickly by regular chess players and from there someone could, if they so
wished, move to TigerChess and from there to Dragon and/or the
TigerVariation of TigerChess.  I am, of course, happy to explain rules to
anyone who wishes them clarified.
