I suppose that this article, like hundreds of other, fell victim to the wholesale destruction of this website that took place when the display scripts were modified.
I put the entire page within HTML <pre> tags to restore the original layout.
I think this page is also misrepresented in the index: it is mainly a rule description; that it also happens to contain a link to a Zillions file is coincidental.
I changed the page to use Markdown and reorganized its content.
To answer an old question here, Rose Chess (2007) replaces the Knights in Christian Freeling's Grand Chess with Roses. And continues on to add Bishop+Rose and Rook+Rose pieces to the game. My Rose Chess XII (2007) has a Half-Rose and an ordinary Nightrider on a 12x12 board.
For anyone contemplating a really big (16x16) version of this game, I frivolously offer the:
Thirteenleaper: moving from (a1) to (a14) or (f13) or (m6) or (n1).
On a (16x16x16) 3D-board it also leaps (3,4,12) and (4,12,3) and (12,3,4) and so forth.
Oh, thanks everyone for fixing the page up, thanks so much.

Yes, you are right, I did this page ages ago and for some reason never did a proper game page, and then it got all these nice comments and I just left it like it is. Maybe sometime I could write a proper game page and add if you want to comment on the game to do it on the 'download the game' page, I dunno lol.

This game looks quite original. Very interesting. I came on this page owing to the ID made by HG. However this page and this game would deserve a small editing. How it is now, the presentation is just terrible, very difficult to read. Too bad. Could that be fixed? It doesn't seem difficult to do.
