Well Kevin,
I hope I won't upset you in any way but I find my 2 apothecary games "superior" to yours which in my view are a bit blend. A few more pieces don't mean much progress and the joker (fool,imitator etc.) is a quite interesting piece with a rich tactical contribution and which is quite difficult to evaluate in advance. My wider combination of pieces make these game more interesting :)! Also I think, although many seem to not agree my promotion rules brings more choices to the game :)! After all it is a matter of taste, after some point but not much. I like shako, too. Also Eurasian, Grand and Omega. They are good, 10x10 at least, progressions (technically omega is 10x10+4 but you get the point). They are probably better and more general than mine although I don't like the promotion rule in Grand and Eurasian is a bit too tactical as for many hoppers. As I had said before all these 4 : Shako,Grand, Eurasian, Omega could become similarly popular, as I mentioned earlier, it is like biological evolution. On the other hand probably human non-android like transhumans chess is passing away, at least as far as I can see. So maybe this whole thing is moot :)!
