Mounted
mounted
I found this variant on https://github.com/fairy-stockfish/Fairy-Stockfish/wiki/Variant-configuration#mounted I assumed what the names of the pieces could be and re-used some of my designs to fit them. If the original author comes by, i assume no authorship of the variant. A certain Procyon is supposed to have created the INI-file.
