Frog/Hannibal/Waffle chess with Gryphon/Manticore and falcon. Expansions of Kevin Pacey's Frog/Hannibal/Wafle Chess. (9x10, Cells: 90) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I would call this a collection too, and possible ajax. Yours all feel similar. The 9 rank board stands out more than anything else.

An attempt at a logical expansion of Chess to a 10x10 board.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The interactive diagram here isn't working right. It doesn't allow moves that capture on the back two ranks for either side.
