And in case anyone thinks I am not being serious I have even got as far as thinking what "moves" they have, as follows:
Giraffe - can look over any other piece and decide that it wants to be on the otherside, one space move.
Lion - gets to roar loudly and push any other piece one space backwards
Whale - can leap up to 3 spaces sideways or diagonally
Mouse - can scurry round the side of any other piece, forwards or backwards, again upto to 3 spaces

Good question.Is there scope to changing the pieces and what they can do. I'd like to see a giraffe, a lion, a whale and a mouse incorporated as pieces.
Do you remember his name?I once played a former Scottish junior champion and beat him. He flew into a rage and accused me of cheating. Why? Because I "didn't play a standard opening". Guess I must have confused him
Unfortunately not. It was around 20 years ago and I can even remember what I had for dinner last night lol.Do you remember his name?
You can play a variant where the Queen becomes an Empress and in addition to her rook/bishop powers she also acquires knight powers!The queen has far too much power and the king just shuffles about keeping his head down... that's no way to run a kingdom.
