This game, of course, deserves to be called 'Eurasian', i think,
opinion of anonimous reader is strange. It's not based on all European
and
Asian forms of chess, but on form, wich is most popular in far east (XQ is
popular not only in China) and on most popular European form. I don't
think
that there must be pices from Shogi: Shogi is only popular among Japanese
and chess variantists. But there are mostly FIDE pieces because they are
very playable, this combination of pieces made FIDE chess the most popular
game in Europe. If Fergus Duhino would really wanted to make game with
most
used pieces, he really would put silver general instead bishop, as told
anonimous reader, but it would be mistake, and he did not made this
mistake. I think, telling that 'rook and knight was used in most forms
of chess and bishop  was invented independtly by both Europeans and
Japanese' is srange excuse of using FIDE pieces, especially about
bishop... It don't need excuses, using playable pieces is right. Only
thing, wich i would add to this game is cannon queen, but it's not
necessary, game is perfect without it to.

M Winther, Bulgarian chess is scam?! Please, give me link to page with
information about it - i want to know details.
And another one curious thing: in 7 players Chinese chess queen don't
mathche, but bishop do. Bishop also was in 'Citadel Shatrang'
under name Dababa, so bishop was invented independently many times.
