I've looked into your reply and I was thinking maybe you just change the name of the game and that of the big pieces. If you think that won't work it's ok.

This variant is a parody. The author has created a hopeless variant lacking in all chesslike values in order to make a statement about inferior chess variants. /Mats

I have never seen such a floundering piece as the Nightflyer, as a 'compound Crooked Nightrider'. It is virtually impossible to foresee the moves of this piece. I suppose it's a way of introducing randomness, because nobody could master this piece. /Mats

my understanding is that the Alibabante is different from the Alibaba rider in that it is NOT a rider. It may leap 2, 4, 6, or 8 squares in any orthogonal or diagonal direction regardless whether the intermediate squares were occupied or not. Your description implies it is an Alibaba rider.

Another cut-and-paste error, and also now fixed.

you have made a mistake! Charles, you said the sultans elepnant move on a 16 by 16 board corresponds to a wazir on an 8 by 8 board it should correspond to a ferz on a 16 by 16 board

this game must be fun, once you memorized all the moves!

Cut-and- paste error, now fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

The Waffle is for some strange reason linked to the Gold General. It actually appears in Chu Shogi under the name Phoenix.
