I love this game! It is by itself a very interesting and entertaining
game.
Some people have proposed modifications to it in order to become a more
modern game. The only modifications I would make it would be to change the
Alfil to Alibaba, to increase this almost 'stupid' piece to one with a
slight wider range. It could now hit 1/4 of the board, with Couriers 1/2
and rooks the hole! ;)
