Mister Big Boss, would it be possible to have a chess board for experimenting with variants ? What I have in mind is just an empty board, with all the pieces available and NO RULES for any specific game glued to it and nor rules for moving pieces ... let's say I would like to play a game with pawns on 3rd and 6th row, or a game where bishop can jump like a knight when on the 1st and 8th column ... or maybe when pawn promotes I can choose another king and milions of other variants ... all the rules would be agreed before the game starts and players can enjoy the new game ... I've never seen anything like this and it can be a very powerful field for inventors ...

This way we can all enjoy our new ideas, try it and eventually implement it ...

Cheers,

Andy.
