Heck, no! More variants, I want more. Actually, the shatranj variants I've posted here pretty much give an overview of the territory set out in MS and 2Large. But there are obviously more games in the mix. For example, the Sliding General, a 2-step queen, is a very interesting piece that is not [yet] used. And the knight-ferz and knight-wazir are languishing in obscurity; yet they are very dynamic pieces, each worth about a rook, with interesting abilities and limitations. Perhaps there is a game hiding between Grand Shatranj and ABS that someone [maybe even you or I] will find and post. In the meantime, I'm still looking at more short range jumpers; can Lemurian Shatranj be far behind?
