Thanks, Rich, for your stimulating words.
Gradually I'll go doing here at this item of the Ratings and Comments Section some precisions and clarifications.
There is a lot of work to do in the particular road that this variant is.
It is a gigantesque challenge to edit UC's presets with a set of pieces formed each time by a larger number of pieces.
I have in mind to add to the UC-73 preset, among others, the following pieces:
1)Maorider Chess's king [when this piece appear on the board, the players would have to checkmate two kings for winning the game];
2)Catapult, Ram, Troy Horse (including the Archer) from Gifford's Catapults of Troy;
3)Jeremy Good's Top Heart and Bottom Heart;
4)the set of pieces of Chu Shogi (alfaerie style), specially the shishi;
5)Mamra and Wuss [when the wuss, the standard FIDE chess king and the Maorider Chess king coincide at the board, the players would have to checkmate to the three for winning the game];
6)some pieces from Ganymede Chess, like Spearman, Minirose, Dragon, Moonrider, Roc, Frog, Fort;
7)the pieces recently designed by Jeremy for Crooked Chess;
8)the Nachtmahr's crooked nightriders;
9)several pieces designed by Charles Daniel, specially the octopus;
I expect help from others to develop a list of pieces (especially exotics) as large as possible.
