I think this rules page is ready for review.

At first glance, I'd think that the board shape would be a disaster; but looking more closely, I can see how it's actually a nice twist. In fact, I'd been about to ask afrer a 12x12 version of this, but I don't think that would be as interesting. I hope it doesn't take too long to get an Interactive Diagram in place for this.

Very nice. On such a wide board the Bishop will be significantly more valuable than a Knight or any of the other 8-target short-range leapers. And the Dragon Horse will benefit similarly. This gives it an almost ideal value spectrum: 16 Pawns, 8 Knight-class pieces, 4 Bishop/Rook-class pieces, 1 Queen and two pieces between Rook and Queen.

To Bn Em:

I slightly edited the intro section, and think you may like this Rules Page better now for your review.

Apologies, I'd meant to publish the Accelerated games alongside the regular(?) ones but apparently neglected to actually hit the update button.

That said, the links in particular are a welcome addition which arguably the other pages would benefit from too if you're not too averse to adding them

@ Bn Em:

I edited the intro sections slightly, to the (3) Rules pages (two already published, recently), as I think you requested.
