Hea, Cavebear.  I agree with your list, Shogi and Chess with Different
Armies being my personal favorites.  I enjoyed Doublechess and Omega Chess
as well, but I think Omega Chess is probably better on a 10x8 board (with
the corner squares) - I think it takes a very long time for the position
to develop to a level of tension on such a large board.

P.S. If you would consider selling one of your sets of Omega Chess pieces,
please let me know.  When I tried to buy a set I was told that they were
out and didn't plan to make any more.
