MHowe, who cares who invented a certain piece, that's a trivial thing. What matters is the implementation, publishing documents about it, creating wortwhile variants, studies, or problems, and, above all, creating Zillions files, and e-mail presets. I really think you threw out this piece with the bath-water. People tend to think that such pieces are too powerful, like the Amazon. But the fact that they are powerful means that they have to back off when threatened by all other pieces. It calls for careful play, unlike a knight or a pawn who can attack at many occasions. /Mats
