Thanks Joe.

I will say for those who think Near Chess isn't radical enough, I suggest
people consider doing variants off it to tweak it to as they like.  It is
the starting point into chess, not the end all and be all.  Near vs Normal
Chess is meant to be a test to see how well Near holds its own against
Normal (FIDE) Chess.
