This looks quite interesting! Only three small notes:

1. The table header uses the word "perpendicular," which means (at a 90 degree angle," so I was looking for pieces to be at a 90 degree angle to the way the piece moved. The main text uses "opposite," which is more appropriate.

2. The game certainly is enough of a chess variant to go on this site, but I don't think it's close enoiugh to use Chess in the name. (I don't feel strongly about it, so if you leave it as it is I won't complain.) I'd lean more toward Contextual Chickens, Chickens In Context, or Chickens and Dragons.

3: I'm pleased to see you using my Chicken and Dragon icons. I'm very glad that I could be helpful in that way. :)
