Re: Jetan.
Larry Smith, for reasons unknown to me, liked to exaggerate the inconsistencies found in Burroughs' novel The Chessmen of Mars. In reality, there are only a couple of real inconsistencies, although it is true that due to Burroughs' vague wording, jetan has sometimes been played with alternative rules.

Consistent rules can be found in connection with my jetan articles in ERBzine and Abstract Games, and not least in my book Jetan: The Martian Chess of Edgar Rice Burroughs (McFarland, 2022).
