Hi, Holy geepers , yer right. Me being a ordinary hetero guy I never
thought of the gender or sex issue , just the moving of the pieces and
there power on the board. If the Bishops were transformed to a Queen piece
or on a computer game , it would appear a bit transgenderish. We can blame
religion on this problem. So now what do I do. This is going to be a major
rule revision for sure. 

The name has to stay Bishops. Its copyrighted and everything. Plus its a
neat name. 

Off the top of my head I have no ideas how to correct this problem. I will
need a day or two maybe. Maybe some other ppl can give ideas. Its obvious
we cant have a Bishop undergoing a sex change. This will save money on
extra Queen pieces however for the board version. 

Actually if the Bishops stay Bishops and only gain the POWER of a Queen,
whats wrong with that?

later

thx, I missed that , silly me.
