The Encyclopedia Britannica (1911) says: 'The chancellor of an order of knighthood discharges notarial duties and keeps the seal.' Sounds good to me! <p>Looks like the dates for Carrera's Chess and The Duke of Rutland's Chess are switched above.

Too many windows open on my computer! My previous comment was supposed to be sent to the Piececlopedia entry for Chancellor. <p>I am not aware of any computer programs implementing my King's Leap revision above. So I have written a Zillions file (kingleap.zrf) for King's Leap Chess and it is now being playtested. This uses my third and final version of the rules, allowing the Kings to leap either orthogonally or diagonally.

The first variant looks good. My problem with having just a Marshall and not a Cardinal is the assymmetry between the prime pieces. This variant has the Rook as a single piece, so already has an assymmetry. The second variant is poor, however, as the Queens can attack each other as soon as he Pawns are moved, and are undefended, so White has more of an advantage.
