This ... strikes me as almost as bad an idea as the original Shatranj
Elephant. Faced with these four Elephants, which together can attack only
32 squares on the board, players had a strong incentive to invent
something better. Five years ago I started my NextShatranj project,
resulting in several variants being posted here. I actually prefer playing
Shatranj variants on this site to the CapaChess and Grand Chess variants -
but that is a topic that deserves its own thread.

Alright, David, I'll bite. What Next Shatranj project? I walked in here
just over 4 years ago, with 4D chess variants in my head, knowing nothing
about shatranj but the name. It was the first game I tried, because it
looked like you couldn't lose too fast. You were the one that made the
comment in my third game about modern shatranj, and got me doing shatranj
variants. Now you're telling me this was a plot?!?! LOL!

I like the idea, and think it's a good topic. Your move. ;-)
