Doublewide Chess. A discussion of the variant where two complete chess sets (including two Kings per side) are set up on a doublewide board. (16x8, Cells: 128) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I don't think the 'great' simplification has too much to do with it. And the simplification is not really done at a specific point of time, but more as a process that culminated with a standardized list in the 90s. AFAIK. (the list was necessary after people start to over-simplify characters, in a kind of slang) Moreover the number of characters didn't really reduce. I think the sets produced in the 80s that I have seen is the same as gnohmon described. I think the xiangi associations in china may be able to resolve our quandries, so if any member is reading please send a link.
