John K Lewis had suggested ideas found in Near Chess, but then chopped off
the ends that were vacated, and was the first run at Simplified Chess.  The board then became 8x7 and the final version of Simplified. I believe a Simplified Chess board is a good addition to the world of Chess variants.  I did disagree with Mr. Lewis chopping off the last row in the initial Simplified Chess.
