As remarked by Ben, after "2", all primes are odd. By definition. So the number of rows had to be "big prime"+/-1.
Saying, on this place, that games with fairy pieces are not well playable is a bit surprising. I guess the author speaks of things he doesn't know and I encourage him to try, it will only be a matter of choice for him to pick one variant.
Finally why being very long is ridiculous? Weird maybe, but not ridiculous. Infinite Long Board would be a better title. Sure this game is not physically playable, but would it be playable by computers, I wonder?
