Sheer brilliance! The mind boggles. Applying warfgaming to chess is a natural progression, why didn't someone think of it earlier? Although in the rules I learned, dismounting a Royal Guard was only allowed in a move following activation of an Armored Pawn (this could just be British rules, mind you). Players who enjoy Gridlock will likely also appreciate <a href='http://www.geocities.com/verdrahciretop/src.html'>Stanley Random Chess</a>, which can be played exclusively at SchemingMind.com. An annotated <a href='http://www.schemingmind.com/game.aspx?game_id=5786'>Exhibition Game</a> gives some idea of the game.
