Subject: Janus Chess sets?

I have read where Janus Chess is popular in Germany. I am told there are even tournaments for the game.

That being the case, can someone tell me where I can purchase a Janus Chess set? Preferable one with a vinyl board.

Subject: Palladan Chess?

I once heard about a game called "Palladan Chess, I believe. It was set up the same as Janus Chess except for having two Arhcbishops (Januses) it had two Chancellors (Palladans).

Has anybody else heard anything about this?

Subject: Re: The archbishop/janus

SMIRF Engine: I'd be glad to but I do not speak, or read, German. Is there an English link to translate it?

Subject: Re: The archbishop/janus

SMIRF Engine: Why does everyone make this so hard. How about using the term "Archbishop" from CRC and "Marshal" for Grand Chess, and eliminate the "C" problem once and for all?
