Years ago, when I corresponded briefly with John Gollon, he sent me some
chapters of _Chess Variations: Then... and Now_, in which he described
Chezz, which I believe was played on the same principles as Chess (the
focus of the game is checkmating the king) but contained no standard chess
pieces, using built-up pieces in place of each standard piece, I think. 
The chapters he showed me contained the greatknight, the superknight, the
ultraknight, the masterknight; the greatqueen, the superqueen... and that
was as far as he had written.  Does anyone know any more about this?
