There seems to be no article about Jean-Louis Cazaux' Metamachy on CVP. Yet it seems a quite interesting large variant. Shall I make one?

(Doing this game actually revealed a bug in the JavaScript code for the diagram: Betza 'n' (non-jumping) leaps would actually leap over virgin pieces, as the Prince revealed. I fixed that now. Another problem is that such lame leaps only created e.p. rights if the were initial moves; this is the first game I encountered where a rights-creating double push is not limited to virgin pieces. I solved that by making both 'in' and 'nn' imply e.p. capturability.)
