Joe, please feel free to be the spokesperson here, you're doing a great job.

Thanks everyone for your comments and interest, and thanks to Joe for the fine essay he has written on this project. i don't see myself really as writing the zrf's, more like hacking hehe, i'd rather see myself as a creator of games, but you know :)

While I love the Shatranj Pawns in the variants, I think that a shortrange piece game with stronger Pawns might be most interesting as well.

Michael, as Joe answered, all games except 'Shatranj 10x8' have modern pawns and castling. I do feel this is an important aspect of gameplay, it is like the 'platform' that 'The ShortRange Project' plays upon. i do think it is interesting, and a lot of fun.

Well i don't know if we are releasing the game this week at zillions now, i want to add a 5th zrf, and i guess i should talk to Joe about it.

It is a nice little add, ...
