I have changed the rules for Elephant Chess. I have added the 'Crab' pawn instead of regular pawns. The Crab moves like a regular pawn. In addition it can jump to an empty square west-north-west, or east-north-east. This is only allowed if the Crab's forward movement is blocked. This type of pawn makes this variant much less drawish. It should be interesting to authors who use short-range pieces and create slow variants. There is also a Zillions file.
