moussambani, thanks for the feedback, and yes, well spotted, the geometry
supplies that rather nifty fact - but though the queen seems so powerful
it will usually capture in tandem with another token which in effect
qualifies its power. If you would like to see the queen in action in an
animated game, check out yahoo group

where i have included complete snapshots of the entire first game. Thanks
for your interest and comment. dtj
ps thanks too to david howe for doing such a good joy on the presentation!
