Am I wrong not to see a big difference with CVs like Chessgi, Reinforcement Chess, etc. Those can be seen in Pritchard's CECV as I wrote earlier. Look 5.2: http://www.jsbeasley.co.uk/encyc/052057.pdf

The originality of Conquer seems (to me) the fact that the "re-introduction" square is the square where the capturer went from.

Or I miss something in the rules.

Incidently, Conquer would benefit to be played with shogi-like pieces that are color-neutral and pointed toward the opponent.
