Good game, but it did'nt deserve to be called 'Eurasian'.
On that, we disagree.
There are only one piece wich is exactly Asian (Pao) and only one piece wich is exactly European (Queen).
I would use the word 'exclusively' in place of 'exactly' but otherwise agree. Except for the Vao, the rest are found in both European and Asian regional variants.
Vao is fairy chess piece, so it's neither European, nor Asian.
That is a non sequitur. It is both by virtue of descent, in much the same way that a Canadian like Kristen Kreuk can be called Eurasian.
Using piecec, wich are both European and Asian is primitive.
Would you care to explain what that even means?
If there will be game, wich uses these pieces, it will really deserve to be
called Eurasian!
There are, of course, other ways to make Chess variants that blend together European and Asian elements, but what you suggest would not blend together elements of the major regional variants of Europe and Asia as well as this game does, and consequently a game with the pieces you suggest would be less deserving of the name Eurasian Chess.
