I have a rough Zillions Rules File for Amphibian Chess -- I'll try to clean it up and post it tomorrow night. It'll have variants both with and without the Mirror-Knight. <hr> Tony, yah, the diagonal movers can clip off the corner Pawns, but then there's the Rooks there. Which can be dealt with, true, but it is still a more difficult attack. As for the Knights, again they can attack the back rank, but they would have to be carefully supported or the Pawn line would get them. Of course, in doing so gaps would be opened. I still suspect that it will be more difficult to attack than in FIDE Chess.
