These two games are chess variants that follow the same principle on different sized chess boards. In both, there are a total of 9 chess armies giving 81 different types of games that can be played with each one. In all of the games you get to place the front-row men wherever you want to. Other than that, the games are similar to chess except no castling, no initial double-moving pawns, and No en passant moves.
Some armies have different pawns.
The main purpose is to see how different types of chess pieces compare with each other without any special rules getting in the way. I made both chess variants myself and would just like someone else s opinion if the armies are equally balanced or not. There are 7 basic types of chess pieces used for describing most of the chessmen in the different armies. The 9x9 chess variants have the same pawns as their 8x8 equivalent so only the front-row men are listed.
