Well I will try to answer some of the questions so far. Like I say I had a
big reply to Gary and since I put in BOTH my ID and name it rejected it and
then when I come back to the editing section all the words are gone. That
is SO frustrating. So this problem can be fixed I know somehow so the
webmasters should try and fix it. It could cause a loss of customers. :)

Regarding the name Bishops , it is named Bishops because of the Bishops
Rule in the game. When a King enters any corner square he is in Sanctuary
then and his Bishops immediately become Queens. When 2 Queens are captured
the King must re-enter the playing area on his turn. If he cannot enter
without being in Check, then that player misses a turn. He could
theoretically be stopped from further play in the game and thus lose.

Now I see there is 3 more posts about the Pink issue. I admit to defeat on
the pink board, dis i say that already? But here is the reason for the
colours. Chess has 2 sides , white and black. So a 50-50 mix of white and
black will give you Grey. Notice the English spelling of Grey , as I am
Canadian. Hence not Gray. Also a 50-50 mix of white and blood red would
produce a Pink. As i said I am not a lover of Red or Blue or Green for
Chess pieces. But anyway the Pink has to stay for the Chess Pieces ,
otherwise I will be fire the whole engineering department and hire new
people. ( kidding )

In summary I hope some people can ACTUALLY play Bishops and rate it,
irregardless if you want to buy a game or not. You can paint some spare
chess pieces and put extra squares on your coffee table or something. It
may be easier to just order a game from me for $48 US total and have a
collectors item as well. 

The Long version ends 'as Chess' remember and theoretically when all the
pieces return to the 64 square playing area it is Chess. The Short version
simply ends when one palyer forces a Checkmate of the player to his left.
ie Black Checkmates Pink.

Any technical questions , just ask. 

........actually I think I just cause a minor wording change revision in
the rules. When 2 of the 3 Queens are captured makes sense, it does not
have to be the 2 original Bishops. because then identical pieces can be
used in the board version. In a computer game the computer would know when
2 of the 3 Queens are captured and the next move would need to be the King
entering the playing area again.
