'DEF,LargeCV': 'Its main feature is the central conveyor belt.' Would that were so. The main feature is 14 piece-types. There are three types of pawns; the pieces are the regular and stock variant ones. This conveyor fails because any movement along it dumps piece to f7 or g6 only. Novo Chess has better conveyor-like embodiment in its Railroad and Water paths, where any stopping-square is possible.
