This is the (corrected) Interactive Diagram for Grand Chu Chess. I guess I hadn't looked carefully at the coordinates of the Stag, as I expected the setup to be Grand-Chess-like, with empty squares on the second rank.

@HG Muller

This is Grand Tamerlane Chess, not Grand Chu Chess

Thank you for noticing and your comment Nicolino. Mr Muller posted it here at my request. I only have an android phone and have not tried to submit my own rule pages. My idea with Grand Tamerlane, Grand Chu Shogi and Grand Courier is to make a basic set for beginners. Grand Chess and Eurasian Chess would round out the set.

In the ID, the WZ is called Sorceress whereas it should be a Sorcerer.

From John Davis's comment on this page, Grand Chu can be found on AI AI platform. One day maybe I will make a page here for it.

But does anyone know where to find Grand Courier?

There is a description of the initial setup and pieces in this comment.

Would it be possible for an editor to turn the diagrams anti-clockwise 90°?
