To my recent anonymous defender: thank you. I really do appreciate hearing that people like a game of mine. As for Alice shatranj, Christine Bagley-Jones created zrfs for several variants, including Modern Shatranj. These [and other games] can be found at Zillions in The ShortRange Project. Also, Abdul-Rahman Sibahi and I played a game - not very well, but useful for illustration - here:
George, many criticisms here contradict others you've been leveling at me recently. Where I haven't, as you maintain, properly attributed ideas or documented origins in other games, here I have, and for this I am a namedropper. Other games have been criticised for being too sketchy in their descriptions; here, where there is a discussion, I'm longwinded. Chieftain is too far from the FIDE standard, this is too close to the shatranj standard. Lol, George, if I were sensitive, I might begin to think your criticisms were more from ideology and even animosity than from a true consideration of the qualities of my games. I might even think you were trying to provoke a reaction from me! Fortunately, I'm not that sensitive. :-D Enjoy! Joe
