A really great imperfect information variant. 

With regard to Knight moves, shouldn't non-touring Knight moves be sent
directly?  

If the opponent receives Ra1-c3 from the moderator, he knows it is a
touring move from the move itself, not just from having received it from
the moderator.  So both sides get the same information. Similarly, if the
opponent got Bc1-f4 from his opponent, he would recognize it as a
non-touring move from the move itself, not just from having received it
directly from the opponent.

But if all Knight moves go through the moderator and a player receives
Nb1-c3, he can't tell whether it is a normal move or a touring move, but
the player who sent the move does know. Why should there be a disparity
for Knights, when in all other cases equal information is obtained?

One of the things I like about this game is that when you obtain
information you also give it to the enemy--mkaes you think twice about
exploring.

The reason I specified that Knight moves could be used to make the
information unequal is that I thought it added spice.

Suppose 1. e4 e5 2. Nh3; either you have made a touring move or you are
playing a weak move to fool your opponent. Probably it was a touring move,
right?

But next game, having established the pattern, you play the non-touring 2.
Nf3 -- and now your opponent really does not know!

It seemed to me that the possibility of this sort of head game added to
the interest of Touring Chess.

I appreciate also your liking for equal information, now that you explain
it. There could be variants of Touring Chess?
