A new variant with a request for review.

To get it straight: The "royal pawns" don't promote? Than the piece is a Man or a Commoner, known from historic Chess Variants like Courierspiel.

Next point: What about en passant? Is it allowed or not, and if yes, do only quick pawns capture en passant or also the royal pawns? (One could argue: Why talk about en passant when it does not exist in this game. But we all come from Chess and a difference between a Chess Variant and FIDE Chess should be made explicit.)

The quick pawns make this game faster than the Two Pieces version. Promotion of a quick pawn is decisive.

That's right!

Than the piece is a Man or a Commoner, known from ...

I'm well aware of that, but I 'refuse' to use the image of the 'Man'; I find it terrible (looks like a saturated bourgeois)

What about en passant?

You're right, it should have been mentioned. En passant I didn't intend to, but I'm open to that.

I have adapted the description.

This page of mine is ready for publication for the following reasons:

The rules are clear, unambiguous, and easy-to-understand.
The rules are comprehensive.
There is a locally-hosted setup image, or the setup is the same as Chess.
Locally-hosted images are being used for pieces, or only Chess pieces are being used.
The piece names are linked to Piececlopedia articles when there are any.
No code on the page is broken, or it has no code.

Perhaps the ‘guard’ image is more to your taste?

I think it's an interesting, simplified chess variant. The page looks well structured and ready for publication.
