This, http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSchessvariant,
is going up as #12. That keeps Fischer Random as #11 and displaces
Bilateral to #13 and Centennial to #14 etc. The reply is stereotyped and sketchy. Almost exactly 300 years apart were Centaur plus Champion in 1617 and Nightrider plus Grasshopper both around 1912. Sources claiming so late as 1925 for Nightrider are mistaken by information on file through British Chess Magazine.
