Totally agreed. And for those interested in Chess Variants, refer to:
Home page of The Chess Variant Pages
For all OS users.
For Macintosh using OS X but not Leopard go to:
Herwig Henseler - Software/BOUSG
Also known as BOUG (Bag of Unusual Games). Well not so unusual.
One of the chess games which also appears in Chess Variants was the original computer chess game. No Bishops, and on a 6 x 6 chess board.
Probably the old over heated tube generated computers could not handle 8x8 with Bishops.
