Rococo. A clear, aggressive Ultima variant on a 10x10 ring board. (10x10, Cells: 100) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Bent Riders going back to 700 year old Gryphon need to be organized better than Betza's article. Betza's article is a little self-serving. Another important category of piece-types may never have been defined clearly yet. Namely, Queens. Queens that differ. Face it, Queen is perfect for OrthoChess 64, and Carrera's Champion stinks. I mention that because Pritchard in Intro of 'ECV' says they would have made no difference there. Ridiculous. Now Queens don't have to capture by displacement. Here in Rococo are several other Queens with differing modes of capture. They move like Queens but Withdrawer, Advancer, Long Leaper, Chameleon, and Swapper act differently. Another example for this group is Betza's Medusa, or Gorgon, at Chess Variants with Inverse Capture. There are, or would be 50 or 100 piece-types we can throw in here that are fundamentally Queens with a twist or a tweak or a twirl, that have never rightly been grouped before.
