I am extremely curious as to what you came up with in regards to a Raumschach board which allows you to visualize the unicorns without taking away from the visualization of the bishops. I don’t know if this comment will notify you, but if it does and you still have the diagrams my email is [email protected]. I’m quite late to this page but I only recently found this game and am greatly enjoying learning it.

The promotion zone the article mentions makes no sense to me: Pawns can be moved such that they never could reach the zone. It would make more sense to have white Pawns promote where the black (non-Pawn) pieces start. So the far end of level D and E, not of A and B.

Indeed. And the CECV and Moeser both say that the promotion zones are E*5 and A*1. (Not also D*5 and B*1 as you suggest, perhaps just because the pawns there can still advance one more.)

Also, @Fergus, the green version of the item description here is completely unreadable on the new background color of comment headers.

I was getting ready to give the same note. :)
