Rich, if you'll look at the page Joe mentioned, you'll see 'You are
viewing ratings based on a wildcard that includes all Chess variants played
on Game Courier. This is not as meaningful as ratings based on a single
variant, which you may find by clicking on the Ratings link above the board
in a preset.'

Ultima. Game where each type of piece has a different capturing ability. Also called Baroque. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Article 3, section 9 of the FIDE Laws of Chess:

3.9Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The king is said to be 'in check' if it is attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces, even if such pieces are constrained from moving to that square because they would then leave or place their own king in check. No piece can be moved that will either expose the king of the same colour to check or leave that king in check.
