As the link to the official website for this (once commercial) game seems to be dead, I guess the only place where the exact rules are conserved is in the Zillions implementation of the game. <p> Now that I extended the capabilities of Fairy-Max to also handle boards with other than eight ranks, and even boards with more than 8 ranks (upto 16), it would be possible to add Roman Chess as one of the pre-configured variants. I would have to know the exact rules with respect to Pawn pushing/e.p. capture and castling, though. Do Pawns have initial triple-pushes here, as they often do when they start on the 2nd rank of 10-rank boards? If so, can they be e.p. captured on all squares they skip? And do they also have a double-push on 3rd rank (as in Wildebeest Chess)? <p> As to castling, does the King make 3 steps here in the direction of the Rook, as is usual on 10-wide boards?
