This is interesting.

I wonder if the inventor might please consider inventing one or two
versions which use an 84 spaces board and entering the one or two games
thus produced into the 84 Spaces Contest.

This is a suggestion for the variant, in the spirit of the original idea.

The 32 empty squares in the beggining of the game contain 'rings' (poker
chips, for example). Whenever a 'fast' piece moves over or to a square
with a ring, it 'gets' those rings (put them below the piece). A Fast
piece with rings under it can't be captured by other fast pieces -
instead, when a capturing move is made against it, the capturing piece
just bounces back. All the rings under the piece that would have been
captured are lost.

Just like in Sonic :-)

It is even possible to make a whole variant with only 'fast' pieces and
rings, the object of the game being to have the most rings below your
pieces when there aren't any more uncaptured rings left!

One thought on knights might be to have them take by 'jumping on' the
piece they take (instead of the spin-dash used with the other major and
minor pieces), and then 'bounce,' essentially making another knight move
in the same direction (instead of the opposite, like with riders).  If
there's a piece in that square, they take it, and 'bounce' again,
otherwise, they just stop.  Maybe if they hit the end of the board they'd
be reflected off the side and wind up moving in the opposite direction (so
a knight on B1 that takes a piece on A3 would wind up on B5, etc), and
keep going until they land in a square that doesn't have a piece.  Not
sure how to handle a situation where the destination square would contain
an allied piece, though... possibly have them bounce off the allied piece
without taking it (obviously only allow this if their first move was a
take).  

I realize this is radically different from the spindash bouncing being
applied to other units, but I still think it's kind of appropriate for
the sonic like theme :-p.
