The birth of two variants: Apothecary chess 1 & Apothecary chess 2[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Also I decided to rename the to title variants: Small Apothecary 1 and Small Apothecary 2. The reason for that is that I already sketched 3 12x12 variants, and bigger is to come. The main trouble with those is that I doubt I can find a program that can play them, so I'll have to build my own. In the particular cases of the 12x12 Apothecary variants the problem with regard to Fairy-max is that both armies use promotable berolina and regular pawns and moreover the problem with sjaak 2 is that it uses aancas and griffins. Also the weird promotion rule stands.
