very weird as well ... :P
and for xianxi I'd recommend the standarized stones for an
"european gfx" option as described by budde/kasperczak ... ~*~

rest on crazy screen as well ... just place a pawn on baseline :D
or does somebody know a proggy that cAn handle such weirdness ? ;) ... ~*~

100 for three or five years would have
been my thought too, as worthwhile ... :) ~*~

although I would like to see the game here,
100 bucks are 100 bucks ... a piece of hardware ~*~

Fencer: sounds very interesting ...
if it's fairly easy to implement, count my vote.
happy new year ... ~*~

would you pay ... range on ... :D ... ~*~

Amazon Chess, Berolina Chess and Cylinder Chess first ... :D thankies to Fencer ~*~

are just slightly simplified and more recognizable as symbol ... about like
the step from kanji-scripture to hiragana, or take it egypt :) still 'flat' pieces as
it's due and contrary to caissus the geometrics are not the same, let go the river ~*~

have published a book about chinese chess
and suggested european figurines, too ...
selectable like for gomoku gfx, perfect ~*~ :)

seems to be an easy to implement game as well ...

more informations here ... ~*~

invented end of the 19th century by Ben R Foster
