Woah! Hold the horses. Mr. Smith wrote, in part '.. the quantum might remain a quantum although it has moved as a specific piece. This will be applicable if players have a single quantum, either apiece or shared, regardless of the number of potentials in hand. The quantum would be moved as the desired piece and yet never be replaced by such.' This is way off of how CarlosCarlos and I are playing. As the new preset shows, each side has their own Barios. They are not shared. And when they move they are instantly identified and replaced with the appropriate piece. In fact, a second Bario might then be realized (in the Deductive variants) and replaced by the applicable piece. For example, In the CarlosCarlos game I had 2 Barios (undefined) on the board. These are seen as 'White Crescents.' I moved one from g1 to g2. It became a Rook. The only thing my remaining Bario (on A1) could be was a Knight. So I replaced the Crescent with a Knight. I now have no Crescents (unidentified Barios) and CarlosCarlos has 2. If he moves either one, both will be known and upon completion of his move all our Barios will reveret to the 'Unknown state.' But my Barios are seen as mine and CarlosCarlos's Barios are seen as his. You can play over our game up to now and see what is going on. The rules we developed are quite easy to understand. Also, I see no need to call Barios 'quantoms.'
