Fair enough, if you're happy with it. It's just that to me the name
suggests only the Shatranj aspect of the variant. In fact it's only
because it was updated that I noticed it at all.
	I certainly won't use Shatranjgi for any variant of my own, as none
could match this one for suitability. There is a gap for a variant
applying my Bishogi rules to Shatranj (back-rank pieces promoted by
ADDING
the Ferz move and all returning unpromoted) but I will call that Filgi.
	The accidental suggestion of Chaturaji has given me an idea of a variant
with 4 reduced Shogi armies on a single Shogi board. This has made me
curious to know the Japanese for 'four kings', as that would be an
ideal
name for it.
