I wonder if anyone has told Robert Abbott the various Ultima derived games that have been posted on this site? <p> There are (at the very least): <ul> <p><li><a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/other.dir/rococo.html'>Rococo</a> by Peter Aronson and David Howe. <p><li><a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/other.dir/stupid.html'>Stupid</a> by Paul Monckton. <p><li><a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/optima.html'>Optima</a> by Michael Howe. <p><li><a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/dpieces.dir/maxima/maxima.html'>Maxima</a> by Roberto Lavieri. </ul><p> There are probably others I didn't think of (I did not include all of the games that use pieces from Ultima, which are legion). These games are also 'repairs' of Ultima in a sense, and perhaps appeal to me more than weakening the Long Leapers and Coordinators.
