BTW, has anyone mentioned that V.R.Parton previously published a chess piece with the name Falcon in '100 SQUARES FOR CHESS+DAMANTE'? I believe that this predates 1974, which was the year of his death.

Of course, he was quite prolific with Chess variants. I personally consider him 'The Chess Variant Master'.

The above paper presented a 10x10 variant of a game developed by Karl Schulz around 1943.
