(Editors, don't forget this one.)

This is the future of chess. Future Chess is played on the Gustavian board
with extra empty corner squares. Players are allowed to relocate the pieces
before play begins. This allows an enormous number of new opening and
middle game strategies.

Why are the editors ignoring my Future Chess? It has now missed two
updates.

Would this specific Future Chess of Winther on 68 allow introduction of new piece? Ostensibly not. Which
is better, Gustavian board with conventional pieces this way, or otherwise
letting on board bifurcator or another divergent piece, always paired so there are
the two per side?  The sixty-eight squares include for example Bombadier in
the corners of CV of that name.  Bombadier moves like Camel-rider and
captures like a Rook.  Or instead, put in the Cross-Bishop, who moves like
a Rook, and to capture must jump over another unit in that Rook direction
then continuing either of the two ways after 45-degree deviation for the
displacement capture.  I notice Knight is in the corners now, at least with
Cross-Bishops.  Whereas, were not the bifurcators usually begun in arrays on the
added-on sheltered corner squares in the past, keeping the f.i.d.e. core intact?  They are just allowable re-arrangements to choose.
