So as not to lose sight of the question what are the rules of the Korean
chaturaji variant in the Youtube video linked at the start of this comments
list, I reviewed the video and still am stymied evaluating differences of
pawn types and move, king "telepotency" to check an opposing king, and
range of the king within the reshaped fortress. A playable variant is a
treat; a playable, four-player variant even more so. Would any Korean
readers be aware of this game, its diffusion, its pedigree? I notice that
the person who posted the video also has a few other multiplayer Korean
chess variants, all equally enigmatic for what the video presents and does
not, and all missing some evaluation of the question whether they are good,
playable chess variants.
