Hmmm... my problem with classical bulldog is promotion of bulldog. I have an idea, bulldog promotes to BULL!!! tongue.png

The bulldog was originally designed to be a "weak" piece. Not doing much in a game - just like a dog wandering around with not too much interest in the battle. The board is already bigger than normal chess, so it's not missing any pieces. It's just different enough so that engines can't play it, and there's no opening books.

But new promotion rules for the bulldog can be interesting. It might be something interesting to try. Someday I would even like to see a bulldog reach the 8th rank. Another idea is to promote from bulldog to pit bull.happy.png

any kind of bull works... but that totally destroys the siege tower animation works. The bull could have a similar idea as the hunter (charge) but instead with 4 extra capture spaces instead- worth 3 points about

Bishop: where is the long diagonal?

The long diagonal is still eight squares, but now there are eight ( I think?) different kind diagonals and not just two.

 Oops,

Bishop: Hey, rook, where's the longest diagonal?
