There also exists a earlier version of Hex Shogi bij George R. Dekle

Can someone change the page so it displays the true inventor

Dekle's hex Shogi seems to define Knight's movement  somewhat differently (through that maybe also due to the different tiling)  and the hexes are turned differently

I wonder if German chess (with chancellor as the royal piece) would be a viable game

On the mindsports website, the 4 corner squares are said to be untiled

Someone on wikipedia added the name Nao for a piece that moves like the Nightrider version of the Cannon. Does anyone know if this name actually was sourced from a chess variants book or was made up?

I wonder how I can make the Crooked Vao display correctly

A logical extension of this would be a version of this that only hops when capturing

This looks like a fun variant to play. I am going to test it soon

Another idea that I have would be knight then camelrider

One of the weird things about this game is the fact that you can only have 2 Heavenly Horses at max, even though you need 4 to cover the whole board, probably there is some compensation for this. I also investigated the camel variant of it, this piece can only reach 1/6th of the board.

This looks like a somewhat playable variant, only the weird board size is killing it

A weird piece idea where all wazir movements are crooked

The description for the knight is incorrect. It should read that the knight moves tw squares in one rook wise direction and 1 in another. The piece's current description, while making the same piece as the first one on 2d boards, gives a different piece on 3d boards

I've had a idea lately with a vertical only version of this piece

I am going to write a page soon about the Bishop version of this piece, which is featured in Caïssa Britannia.

I was thinking about a piece that moves like gryphon after bouncing

Does anyone know who first 'invented' this piece?

I've researched and I've found Nao multiple times in the Variant Chess magazine

Here a piece I'm calling the Spinning RC Car that moves like a crooked Bishop after the bounce

I'll make this page larger tomorrow. Could someone change the index description to 'Moves like nightrider, but must jump when taking'?

I've asked Mayhematics on twitter about the banshee piece

wouldn't a 8th nightrider be possible which goes left-right for both vertical and horizontal moves?

does anyone know why mFyafsmFpafscB1yafscpF also gives the rook squares as capture squares?

The page still contains the error that this piece moves 4,5

I also suggest adding the hovering pawn in  for pieces like mNmcafsW on the movement diagram

Today played a game of Rotary with a set of pieces I made myself. It is a very nice game. The rotational element adds a nice layer of tactics. Only thing that feels weird is the promotion rule 

I would use a overlapping red and blue square for cd (I first thought about purple, but that would be too confusing with blue)

The Zebra+Knight versions of the Hartebeest are bound to 1/4th of the board

I've added the value and another name by Gilman. Is this page good enough for Piececlopedia?

I've corrected the diagram

The Haddock on this page is a pretty weak piece. Of can reach some squares only in 13 moves

Still weird that this piece has never been used

Couldn't a better octagonal chess be created on a dotted centered octagonal board?
