This seems interesting. Please post a link to your PDF.

The last three are probably most applicable to chess variants rather than fairy chess problems. I was hoping to be able to propose a wider set of variant pieces (I'd love to be able to justify a cannon and gryphon, for instance) but ultimately I haven't been able to find any examples of their use in running text.

What is running text, and what is the significance of not appearing in running text? A cannon should be included if only because of its use in Chinese Chess.
