That page is fine. Just a detail when it is mentioned the Mideast chess account from John Gollon. As the matter of fact, Mideast C is not covered in the famous Gollon's book. It was said that this game and Pacific C. were detailed in draft from Gollon partly sent to Eric Greenwood in 1976; who communicated this to Hans Bodlaender in 1997.
I have never seen this draft. The source used by Pritchard was a correspondance between John Gollon and Philip Cohen. Was it the same thing? It could be.
I would be inclined to think that the good description was from Pritchard, which revised his text for his second book (Classified ECV), and that the text composed by Hans had an unwanted error.
I would be very interested to look at these correspondances if someone has them.
Interestingly, someone told me on Facebook that a piece playing as F then R and W then B was called a Godzilla by another inventor.
