This is essentially chess with cannons and elephants added. It appears to
play rather well. I like it a lot.
However; in my in-progress game my opponent has 2 light-squared Bishops
and no Dark-Squared Bishop. I have one of each. The reason is that
when the game begins Black has a Bishop on h9 and a Knight on g9. By the
rules this is wrong.
The pre-set needs to be corrected so that the initial setup has a Bishop
on g9 and a Knight on h9. Of course, players can manually fix this when
they
begin a game, but like me, many may assume a correct setup is present and
not notice the error for the first few moves.
