<<As a couple of you have now asked me about this, I'm crossing the
answer to the list.>>

Regimental chess is damned near the only chess variation I've found
that is both *really* playable, and sustains its playbility over time. 
All the other variations I've played with to date have lost their
appeal after a short while.

ObNote: I'm not much of a chess player and I usually don't like chess
that much.

Regimental Chess:  http://members.aol.com/regichess/chespgs1.htm

Strongly recommend walking thru the various demo games and following
the moves, as well thinking of what you'd do in that case. 
Fascinating stuff.

ObOnTopic: I'd love to see a Regimental Chess simulation in a MUD.
