The Chess Variant Pages is an amateur, hobbyist website that has been run by volunteers since it was founded in 1995. Its operating expenses are covered through advertising and donations. You can help out by making a small donation or by using this site's affiliate links when you shop at House of Staunton, Wholesale Chess, Amazon.com, or ebay.com. We also have a page featuring Figurine Chess Variant pieces with links for purchasing them.

Before you introduced the feature of placing pieces in other positions than the center, Greg, the very author of this page, noted that the interactive diagram wouldn't be very helpful for showing how the pieces moved differently than they do in Chess. So, far from being a far-fetched assumption, it is one that a qualified person already made.
