joshi tm: It is NOT the most popular variation, but many of those that like Open Rush also like Corner. Your proposal is different in a significant way to the Corner variation at IYT. There, the setup includes an additional diagonal for each player with 8 more pieces than you proposed.
Nothingness: joshi tm: I have read other posts expressing interest in a corner variation. I would think it worthwhile to find out how many others would like such a variation and discuss the parameters with those interested. For me, the Corner variation at IYT is an equal favorite with Open Rush. I play those 2 variations almost exclusively. As to the parameters here, I would consider Joshi's 7 diagonal proposal as well as possibly an 8th diagonal. If only 7, we might consider removing a 1 and a mine or a 1 and 2 as Joshi suggests. If 8 diagonals, we might instead consider adding additional pieces and/or leaving squares within the 8x8 setup triangle unoccupied.
Dark Prince: I also liked the corner version at IYT. I quitted the site because there wasn't anymore a message board and a lot of good players moved to BK. I suggest a corner version with a 9x9 board, that would be in the middle between Open Espionage (10x10) and Small Espionage (8x8). We should meet the requirements of a lot of players.
dAGGER: Sounds good, and it could use the 7x7 triangle setup zone suggested by Joshi. x x x x x x x - - x x x x x x - - - x x x x x - - - y x x x x - - - y y x x x - - - y y y x x - - - y y y y x - - - y y y y y - - - y y y y y y - - y y y y y y y
