My first real Musketeer Chess game
This post was originally an email I sent to Dr. Haddad several months ago. Our family decided to eat at an open air venue, and since the tables are large I brought a chess set and board. I also brought my 8 year old granddaughter's two favorite Musketeer pieces, the Leopard and Unicorn. As soon as w...
Re: Eye Candy
Thanks jerome! I hadn't seen that new feature and I will familiarize myself with it. I'm not sure this game is going to be finished soon, as in a couple of days we are going to rearrange our family living situation in response to the winding down of Covid restrictions and the vaccinations. I'll keep...
Re: Eye Candy
My granddaughter and I started this game, but we left out the Omega Chess pieces (wrong size). We took an adjournment so she can take a breather and play some music on her recorder.

Next Gen Pawn axes

Re: Omega Chess inventor
Thank you. The email contact apparently has been removed from the web site. I'm afraid the only sure way to contact Daniel Macdonald would be to get to Toronto (I could drive there in one day, but not with COVID-19 ongoing!) and drop into the Chess Pub there to see his friends. I have an Omega Chess...
