Thanks evertVB. Let me know anytime if you would like to play another game. You have good ideas for new and interesting pieces. (But I know bowling green and our other game may already keep you busy). vickalan
This game of Bulldog chess didn't have any bulldogs. I guess it's a variant of a variant, where the name lost it's meaning.
Some people call the 10x8 board a Capablanca board (like in Capablanca chess).
But this game had an angel and joker, so it's a big deviation of Capablanca chess.
So sometimes I just like to call any unusual game of chess on a 10x8 board Bulldog chess.
In the future, I would like to play Bulldog chess with more bulldogs (like 4 or even 10 per side). Your own pieces can move right over a bulldog, so it might lead to some interesting play.
