Sujet: Re: The archbishop/janus

cpaul_d2004: The problem may base in its historical roots. Also the fact, that 10x8 chess is not played that much than 8x8 chess, might have lead to a lack of experiences compared to the claimed importance of underlaying ideas.

My arguments are more intended to enhance the distinguishability of pieces' symbols. Still symbols unnecessarily seem to be very related to Knight and Bishop, which is of no benefit for 10x8 chess at all.
