8 Aug 2000Good It looks like a fascinating variant but could use more Chinese information such as the name of the game in Chinese, the names of the three new pieces in Chinese and perhaps some photographs of an actual set. Also, some clarification of the rule regarding "adding a mated king's army to that of the mating king" would be appreciated, possibly including a sample game with examples of this feature highlighted. Does anyone know if a Zillions file of this variant has been made?
