Rose Chess. Grand Chess, with Roses instead of Knights. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Coincidentally I am planning to post a 12x12 variant using the Bison (Camel+Zebra) and the Rose. To be precise: the 'Half Rose' (Ralph Betza's Halfling Rose) in my variant makes at most four Knight leaps in a half circle, thus avoiding the ability of the true Rose to make a 'null move' by leaping 8 times in a complete circle. [EDIT] The final version of Rose Chess XII turned out to be a low density game with none of the pieces listed in the next paragraph.

The three main pieces in my variant are the Grand Rook R+F+A, Grand Bishop B+W+D, and Grand Knight N+W+F. I plan to change these names, which have nothing to do with Christian Freeling.
