aww come on, now you are making me feel guilty not adding the knight lol
:)
The goal of Sky was to create a game for these 'generally not seen in
games cause of their long leap' pieces (he he). Still, where is the
knight .. well, since i released Sky, i have put together the
'root-65-leaper' (8-1), (7-4) and the 'root-85-leaper' (9-2), (7-6). I
doubt these pieces are in any game. It would be interesting to see these
leapers play, but i'm too happy with the game as it is to change, but i
could make a new variant for these 2 leapers, and maybe the knight could
sneak in with them :) One piece i would love to see in action, but i doubt
i could code this piece in, is the 'Rose'. I don't know if this piece is
in a game, you would think it would be, but i havn't seen, anyway, if
anyone could help with that then that would be awesome. 
(update)  Ralph Betza's 'Chess on a Really Big Board' has the Rose, 
i just noticed, no zrf it seems though
