A new variant.

This page of mine is ready for publication for the following reasons:

  • The rules are clear, unambiguous, and easy-to-understand.
  • The rules are comprehensive.
  • There is a locally-hosted setup image, or the setup is the same as Chess.
  • Locally-hosted images are being used for pieces, or only Chess pieces are being used.
  • No code on the page is broken, or it has no code.

Just link to Piececlopedia articles. That's what they're there for.

It could be made clearer, I think, that these are not simply orthodox‐pawns‐but‐royal; I had a go against the diagram and the first few times got trounced because I'd misunderstood the pawns' move: as it stands, nothing on the page draws attention to the fact that they are non‐standard. (The fact that they aren't linked to a Piececlopedia article doesn't really help — after all, one could surmise that the difference is simply in their royalty, if that is noticed at all)

Having eventually understood the move it's an enjoyable little game, though.
