I'm smiling every time I read that a game is designed to improve chess. Good luck.

However, I think this game looks interesting. I see it as a variant of Sit-Tu-Yin, Burmese chess, and that is rather rare, so quite interesting.

It is written "Historia Ŝako come from Esperanto language means Historical Chess. It received this name because it tracks movements of bishop/elephant and queen, movements that are characteristic of history of both western and eastern variants." The fact is the proposed elephant and queen are not historical. So, I my opinion, the name of this game is not well chosen.
