The legend says that the inventor, way back when in India, wanted to become
rich, but instead became famous and several inches shorter... ;-)

Jeremy, in ref to your recent kibbitz in our game, your stuff would get
its own page; at the very least to start with. It certainly deserves
separate development. That sort of thing only is obvious in hindsight. For
example, I didn't realize just how the hero and shaman fit together until
I looked at David's diagram of their movement. And I hadn't bothered to
do the outer edge of the 7x7 diagram, where the zebra fits in, until I did
the one in the comment. Putting it all together like that, or as Sam has
done in his 31 shortrange pieces comment/page, is a valuable aid to
designers. Further, your diagrams are a valuable aid to players, showing
both piece moves and interrelationships. Sam has systematized the
'atoms' of the pieces, the physics of the system, and you are exploring
the associations and relationships among the pieces, the chemistry. [The
individual games, of course, are the biology, and we're trying to get an
idea of the ecology with this stuff.] I'll be happy to set the page up to
start... ;-) Enjoy
