The idea seems quite good to me.  I even like the opening story because it
has me wondering how many great games were lost through natural disasters,
sinking ships, etc.  Some board graphics (with initial piece placement)
would be a great plus to the rules page.  After seeing these games played
I may very well upgrade my comment to 'Excellent.'  I look foward to
seeing game couriers for these variants.

On a related note: Despite these Shatranj games being great and grand, we
should also be aware  that there are several large Shogi games.  The
largest that I am aware of is called 'Tai Kyoku Shogi.'  It is (was)
played on a 36x36 board with 402 pieces per side.  Hard to imagine.
