This looks pretty good. Was it described before? Is a form of it all Charles Daniel's invention, or is it by Tim Krabbe? If someone has more time for researching the comparisons this week, please fill in the details of origination.

I am NOT the inventor of this game, I merely submitted this link. The inventors are on that website- I am not sure exactly who though.

Looks like a minor variation of pre-Chess, which is described in this comment.

With my suggestions of 'Multiple Formations' and 'IAGO Chess System' and also this and Universal Chess (http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSuniversalchess), I believe we are having things advance into a way to integrate variants together for play (my hope is in tournament format).  I am in favor of having Multiple Formations adopt the rules to this for the formation where everything starts in the back row(s), while the pieces starting in the second row(s) would follow what is in Multiple Formations.

Keep up the good work everyone.  Hopefully we can get something going.
