Power Omnishatranj. This game extends pieces' moves to both orthogonals and diagonals. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

This is remarkably reminiscent of Compact Ashtaranga, the main differnce being my includig the Knight among pieces enhanced by its dual. The other games on the same page as that may also be of interest to you.

Well, Charles, my intent was to balance orthogonal and diagonal movement and have omni-directional pieces rather than have each piece combined with its counterpart. The Knight is neither orthogonal nor diagonal, and is already omni-directional compared to the other Shatranj pieces. By the way, if you want a smiley face next to your name and a link to your profile instead of a question mark, put your username in the box instead of your real name when you make a comment.
