If there were 'All Comments by this person' pages I would rate Antoine
Fourrière's excellent! My Duke is the capturable equivalent of the
Grandduke in the 'split ruler' variation (towards the bottom) of my 3d
variant Tunnelchess (at
http://www.chessvariants.com/3d.dir/tunnelchess.html). I may add a
'Channel' version of that with moves switching between diagonal and
triagional after crossing a yet-to-be-selected plane of symmetry. Latest
comments have given me the idea of barring promotion to compounds in each
quarter of the board EXCEPT to the one starting in the opposite corner -
a1-d1 to King for example. Would this help balance out either a
dispensible Queen or a require-one Viceace?
