I do refer to the Flying Dragon name, and credit Mark Hedden as the first inventor. I had seen the variant before reinventing it, but the name was not an obvious pointer to the moves (to me Flying suggests the Rook, as in Shogi's Flying Chariot) and I forgot it. I intend using the Caliph in further variants. <p>I am still relatively new to this and making the odd error - but promptly fixing them when notified. Where I gave too little prominence to usages earlier than my own, I now realise the potential of this to give offence and have corrected this faux pas as well. I do not know how to do multiple references in the style of the existing e.g. Chancellor/Marshal pointing to the same page. Advice on how to do them would be a positive and useful contribution.
