Wildeursaian Qi. Variant on 10 by 10 board combining ideas of several existing variants. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]True, the author doesn't say 'homage' but his prominent references to the variants out of which this game emerged makes it clear that this is his intent. In the presentation of this variant, the author demonstrates respect and affection for those variants which inspired it and that is what an homage is. The prohibition against compound pieces crossing the river is perhaps its most original facet and helps to ensure that more powerful pieces are not overly dominant, fostering a greater balance between offense and defense.
