  In fact, the text of the 2010 post appears to be almost entirely lifted (without attribution!) from this 2006 post you cite. The wood-inlay board is very nice but the design of the illustrations appears to be lifted from the earlier post as well.

    This sheds some light on this comment about the pawns: '(Move "forward" indicated in white.)' The 2006 picture has white lines and this new one doesn't.

  And he, in turn, attributes it all the way back to a calendar he saw on a wall in the 70's or 80's. Clearly this idea has been kicking around for a while. I used to be very interested in chess variants. I'm a little bummed I didn't hear about it "back in the day".
