Can Giraffe only go 1 square diagonally?
Who cares? Someone mentions some ideas in an e-mail, of the type "it only takes 10 seconds to invent a new chess variant". It doesn't seem like anyone seriously followed these ideas, by making a preset for it, or even a serious page with a rule description and a diagram. It doesn't seem like anyone ever played it.
So if you want the Giraffe to move as F, and the original idea did not, you now have invented a new chess variant that is just as important as the one described in the link, and you could decide to play that.
I doubt that deserves to have its own page. It seems like moving it into a comment on this page would be adequate.
i think it does, and considering its been up for 20 years i think its doing good work.
Are there no promotions in this version? Where is the prince and adventitious king?
