Alfred, I think we've been dismissed. But that's okay, because I've been
thinking. I've come up with a couple new pieces. I'm calling them the
NightRunner and the BishopRunner. The NR moves like a knight or a rook,
depending on the color of the square the piece is on. There are, of
course, two complimentary types. The BR moves like a bishop or a rook,
depending on whether the number of squares the piece last moved was even
or odd. Again, there are complimentary types. I like these pieces, I think
there's a great future for them. I'm going to add them to my Jumping
General, a new piece I discovered last year. It slides 1 or jumps 2 in any
direction (orthogonally or diagonally). The JG isn't going to be just big,
it's going to be mammoth!
Now just between you and me, Alfred, I was inspired by your idea, but I
don't know whether or not to give you any credit. After all, I expanded
on the idea and made it uniquely my own. What's that? Eric Greenwood's
Squire is my jumping general, and he used it in Rennaissance Chess over a
quarter century ago, and it's still being played? Well, maybe he might
get some credit.

I put it up to all. What does everybody think? Credit, or no credit?
