'stuv' From 1998 Swap Chess is older than both Switching Chesses. The Swap, in lieu of a move, is along the line of attack of some Piece One, with Pawn's catalyzing its swap one square diagonally. I still think, as in prior Comment, that the better implementation would be one Swap only rather than the serial Swapping described. Same modality found in 'Swapper' piece incorporated into great 2002 Rococo. Besides Switching, similarity to later Delegating Chess of same developer JPNeto. An entire game score, interestingly annotated, is within this write-up.
