The differences, on a first pass, are that Universal uses only standard pawns, which I prefer to the varied pawns of Superchess, truthfully. That was one of the main reasons I didn't pay attention to Supe. Also Superchess allows players to choose their pieces. Universal has 3 different piece sets, roughly 25, 50, and 75 pieces in size. All these pieces are shuffled, and the first 7 are placed randomly on the board with the king and pawns. The players have no choice of pieces, only of piece sets. Then, every 5 turns, you may drop the next piece in the sequence. Apparently Carlos has not yet posted a separate game page for Universal. However, if you scroll to the bottom of the Cetran Chess page, you will find the necessary rules and piece list for Universal.
