My fondness for cannons has led me to a new type of cannon: the Swedish Cannon. As long as there are jump moves, the Swedish Cannon functions like a Korean Cannon, it both slides and captures after the jump. However, and here's the fine thing, when the Swedish Cannon cannot jump it may slide like a rook, but without capture. This makes it stronger than both its counterparts, the Chinese Cannon and the Korean Cannon, and easily integrable in a Western piece context. A Zillions program and more information is here. My 'febrile creativity' is good for future constructors. These pieces and game rules will never be confiscated in patent registrations, etc. The Swedish Cannon could be useful in an Eastern piece context, too. It's as fun as a Korean Cannon, but it's easier to handle, while it will never become stranded.
