In regard to Greg's excellent question: 'But why add the extra
battlefields on the side?  It is not as though the setup or rules
encourages any pieces to move there' --
My response: I think if I were to play this game and I had a flank attack
against the enemy King, then I could possibly have a Queen, Dragon,
Bishop, and/or Knight on the side battle field to join in the forray.   So
it could end up adding another angle of attack.  I'd need to look at the
board again to see if this actually makes sense, but from what I recall it
does. 

On a different note, regarding pieces.  I own two of the old Renaisance
(SP?) sets by Lowe.  Are the pieces for Dragon Chess (excluding the
Dragon), made from the same mold?  That is what I gathered from Fergus's
earlier comment about the pieces.
