I am looking for a person or two outside my circle of play testers to play
a game of a chess variation I have created.

In this variant the two sides have pieces and pawns with different
characteristics and capabilities. White has pawns, pieces, an initial
placement, and moves in accord with the rules of orthodox chess. For Black,
with the exception of their Kings, every playing piece moves differently
from any piece found in orthodox chess.

This variant is played on an 8x8 board and can be played with a standard
chess set by substituting pieces as described in the rules.

Years ago, a lot of them, at my best, my chess rating was 1620 to give you
an idea of my chess strength. My objective is to “triple-check” the play
balance of this very asymmetric chess variation.

I am looking for someone who can make at least a few moves most days. If
you are interested post here with your email address and I will send you a
copy of version 1.09 of the rules.
