Hello.

I think it's a very nice take on the mini-chess, that feels different from Diana, Mallett, or Los Alamos variants. I believe that the closest relative of this variant is 5x6 chess, with the same feel of all possibilities of orthodox chess, but faster and less complex. This variant is definitely going to take its place in my game library. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your kind words, and glad you're enjoying it as much as I do. Your comment pretty much sums up this chess variant perfectly. I especially enjoy the way that control of the available squares, and freeing up more squares through sacrifice, plays more of a role in this variant than in traditional chess.

There is an initial Mischia Game Courier settings file now, so Mischia can be played via Game Courier, the link is in the "Notes" section. I haven't delved too deeply into Game Courier development, so it may not be perfect, especially as I derived it using the built in conversion utility for converting playable diagrams into Game Courier settings. Let me know if anyone sees any issues.
