I believe the first sentence in 'History' in this piece write-up sums up my feelings: ' This family of pieces has been invented more than once. '
I actually think it can be good that people re-invent the basics, because each person is a fresh look, and sometimes we get something brand new. [How's that for putting a good spin on re-inventing the wheel?]
For being such interesting and constantly re-occurring pieces, the NW and NF are not seen all that much in variants, that I've noticed. You'd think they'd be used more; the NK or centaur shows up several places. I suspect it might be that people find breaking the move of a piece that's already a bit awkward and very short range into tiny pieces and doing the pieces one at a time is annoying. Or maybe I'm totally wrong, and have overlooked games with these pieces.
