Comments/Ratings for a Single Item

I don't think we have a page on it. As there is an ongoing discussion about originality, it is of some interest to see how I would judge this one. If it was just an invention from one of the members here, I would say: "this only differs from Makruk by the promotion rule (to all pieces on 8th rank rater than to Met at the 6th). This could be easily handled by a remark in the Notes section of the Makruk article!".

As it is we are dealing with an official regional variant, supported by a national association. That in itself makes it imporatant enough to warrant its own article.

BTW, now that you are here: I noticed you have an extensive website on chess variants yourself. Would you be interested in having Interactive Diagrams like we have here (e.g. for Samnis Chess) on that site as well? And could you answer the question I had on the exact move of the Samnis in the Comments there?
