Grotesque Chess. A variant of Capablanca's Chess with no unprotected Pawns. (10x8, Cells: 80) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The 'one or more' and 'two or more' options for King in castling are both in the 1996 patent claims themselves. [Falcon Chess did not originate with a Chess V.P. article in 2000.] See the other major Falcon Chess article from the next year 2001 on CVP, which was written in 1996 -- being the US Patent text itself -- based on inventors' notebook back to December 1992. Anyone can use this form of modified free castling, as I have called it, in any variant. I have no idea whether it was original with my Falcon Chess claims in 1996. Probably not. It is not crucial to the 8x10, 9x10, and 10x10 Falcon games; what made them patentable was the Falcon move itself in combination with other pieces in specific embodiments. I think both the castling forms are correct ideas in order to perfect large Chesses generally.
