Unless I'm mistaken, my independently discovered first variant idea in my last post in this thread (which I dubbed Hannibal Chess) has already been discovered (Mini Courier Chess, Orthodox Queen Variant) - see J. Carrillo's article on 10x8 variants in the Database, as I discovered by doing an advanced search today. So, scratch my thoughts on ever submitting that idea. [edit: Hannibal Chess has the Bs and Elephants switched from the Orthodox Queen Variant, though I'd consider this not substantial enough to make a fresh variant submission {further edit: Mr. Will has pointed out that the Elephants have different powers in Hannibal Chess, so I'll reconsider its merits}]
