shouldn't this one be classified also as an HISTORICAL variant?
I am not surprised that this was widely recognized among many as the standard form of chess at one time. It seems more logical than FIDE chess as the amazon combines all three minor pieces, whereas FIDE only combines a couple of them. What seems more surprising is that FIDE version became more prevalent. Could be a fluke of history.
Hans Bodlaender wrote that this game '...has a long history...' I believe it was played in Russia until 1850.
wooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo love chess
Now we need one where queen: Has also the movements of knight. Can castle Can also capture like a pawn. Can also do en passant capture.
