<i>(Approximate answer -- George is the authority.)</i> <p> As I understand it, the patent covers games that are equivalent to, or a superset of, Falcon Chess, which is a Chess variant played on an 10x8 or larger board containing the regular Chess pieces <strong>and</strong> two Falcons that move like described. <p> Falcon Chess is patented just like Gothic Chess is patented -- what the superset business means, I believe, is that if you took the game of Falcon Chess, and added, say, a pair of Omega Chess Wizards in citidel squares, it would still be covered by the Falcon Chess patent. Complete Permutation Chess could be considered an extreme form of that.
