This (Wide Nightrider Chess) variant of mine was a bit popular for a time, but I suspect at least some/many/most GC players may have wanted a rules-enforcement preset for it. The Play-Test Applet apparently (still) can be used to generate an Interactive Diagram for it, if someone successfully attempts to make one, as the Applet handles all the piece-types in its piece type table, and allows a 12x10 board, as well as accommodating my Fast Castling (or Omega Chess Pawn) rules.

Not sure I could then generate a preset from an Interactive Diagram for it the way I did for Butterfly Chess (after H.G.'s recent changes to the Applet), i.e. in a way that Fergus recommended against (for good reasons I'm sure), but that way was simple enough at least for me...
