Fergus, I am actually interested in the actual strategy and tactical
finesses that a certain piece introduces. It is the dynamics of the
chessboard that interests me, and not so much the setup variegation, or
the board shape, etc. There is a lot of creativity going on in all the
invisible aspects of chess. Even grandmasters are surprised sometimes,
when they see something new. Focusing on new chess pieces in a more or
less traditional setting has this effect. On the surface not much is
changed, but in reality a new world of variations are created.
