Eric Greenwood's Archabbott Chess has just been added to the list of
available games, so if you have already voted, please consider adding this
one.  I think it is a very good game.  Since there are no rules listed, the
arch-abbott is a Bishop + Wazir + Dababbah.  And the Arrow-looking piece is
a Cavalier, a pretty interesting peice.  The Cavalier moves one square
diagonally, and then slides orthogonally outward (like a Griffon in Grand
Accatrix) OR slides orthogonally and then one square diagonally outward. 
It can never move to an adjacent square, and it has exactly two different
paths to any square to which it can move.

I will post more about other games later, but I am very pleased at the top
vote-getters so far.
