This is an intermediate game type related to Capablanca Random Chess but having no chancellors.
Numerous improvements to Archbishop Chess that preserve its original opening setup are demonstrated.
The original game, Archbishop Chess, was discovered and named by Dominique Leste.
There are variants with 5 types of pawns: 2-step pawns (standard), 1-step pawns, ortho pawns, lateral pawns and horizon pawns (convertible to 3-direction advance pawns).
There are variants with 2 types of move orders: white-black (standard) and white-black-black-white.
There are 40 variants total distributed in 2 game rules files (*.zrf). The a-2x-no.zrf is for variants without self-captures allowed. The a-2x-yes.zrf is for variants with self-captures allowed.
I welcome thoughtful, constructive correspondence from anyone.
Supreme thanks to the principal architects of the Zillions program for making all dreams possible.
