(continued) 9x9 Baseball(d) Any piece within its nonant may remove one Pawn of each side, by choice. Baseball(e) Any piece, without itself being within the nonant 3x3, may move one opponent piece or Pawn, positioned on one of the 9 nonant squares, in lieu of move. Baseball(f) Any piece not actually
in its nonant may move to any vacant square there, as a move. (g) Any piece passing through its nonant may change direction once according to its movement(after Gala). (h) Any piece on a nonant nine may move twice. (i) Any piece in its nonant may teleport another friendly piece to vacant square within that nonant. (j) Any piece in nonant may move opponent King one square normally, in place of move.  /// Clearly easily combinations of Baseball (a) to (z) to (aaaaa) to (zzzzz) to (...zzzzzzzz) can go on for billions of neat Variates, a new class of Mutators, awarding to pieces certain squares in groups for control or effect exclusively.  That would be the broader ''Baseball'' concept hereby.
