Sky. Brilliant original game by Christine Bagley-Jones. Pieces promote through a succession of odd leapers eventually to a rooks.[All Comments][Add Comment or Rating]
J.K.:
This is quite a claim from someone who in September 2002 said here: 'I have collected the names of leapers from several sources, the (1,5)-leaper is yet unnamed to my knowledge.' Subsequent comments include my March 2003 suggestion of Zemel for 5:1 and April 2003 suggestion of Ibis for 8:1, but no immeditae objection. Do you know whether the usage that you describe is a problematist's, or whether it has ever been used in a game? There is a strong tendency on these pages to disregard problematists' usage - my own adoption of, and extrapolation from, Sexton for 2:1:1 is something of an exception. Certainly few here feel any obligation to call Rook+Knight Empress rather than the Marshal or Chancellor of established variants such as Capablanca Chess.
C.B.-J.:
I've never heard of him. How did you find out about him to set up your link to his problems?
