I was pleased to read the previous comment by M.Howe. I totally share his
point of view for an alternate array similar to GrandChess (or my own
Shako). It is what I call 'Decimal Omega' and proposed into my
'War of the Worlds'.
see http://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/warworlds.html
The specific board being like a commercial signature for Omega Chess,
I don't think that there is a single chance that either M.Howe or me
being listened by the inventors of Omega. Too bad !
