Excellent assemblage of Falcon alternatives on more or less normal sizes. Abdul-Rahman's here are as well-thought-out as the 20 standard mutators that develop '91.5 Trillion FC Variants'. Especially interesting is Airplane, mostly because I never noticed it before, seeing now it is stronger, different T.R.Dawson Grasshopper. As stickler for citations of sources(for ex., Passed Pawns first Comment cites all 3 prior similarities), I think a Comment should credit F.V. Morley's 1947 book 'My One Contribution to Chess' for the origin comparable re-shaped boards of Falcon Chess TS and FC/Airplanes and FC/CC.
