Subject: ULTIMA is a very good 40 year old chess variant

Ultima is a very good chess variant that was invented by Abbott in the early 1960s. It is has been one of my favourite variants of the past two decades. I would love to see the game at this site, possibly with a tweak or two in the rules. I have some very good suggestions as to minor rule changes, having played hundreds of games of this variety. Is anyone else interested in seeing ULTIMA at brainking.com?

Sibahi: Ultima? You mean the ''unprogrammable" chess game?

Also, I like the idea of Knightmating Chess. 8x8 board, exchange the knights for kings, exchange the kings on the E file for a knight, and checkmate the knight.

For short, knights play the king's role.
