Just for fun. >>> Why do not you all try chinese chess (xiangqi)? This is 9x10 board and very similar to chess (the most different thing is cannon pieces which kind of capture - jump over another piece). I am not chinese but I learn easily and have more fun to play it than chess (one game is usually quicker and litle easier). I know that you may feel difficult when see pieces of chinese characters - but actually they are simple and not difficult to recognise. I am sure there are much more players of that game than chess ones. > Grand Chess and Omega Chess might be the most interesting variants.
