Why not play with knights instead of bishops?
It was only a suggestion, which the inventor can ignore or even denounce for himself. Speaking for my own variants I'd welcome a few alternative names for Great Herd, Humpmitregi, and Tryzantine Chess. Does Michael Howe really mean that were he to invent the greatest variant ever he would not post it until he had thought of a decent name for it, even if that took another two years? Let's hear Billy Haynie's own verdict.
As Pawns have no initial double move, it could be said that just as the files removed are specifcally FIDE files b and g, the ranks removed are specifically FIDE ranks 3 and 6. Another name for this variant could be ARIANA (All-Radial dIANA).
