Hexagonal Glinski like grand chess of 169 hexes; setup quite similar to Glinski, but with different Pawn's moves rules. Introduces Capablanca's pieces: a Dragon (Chancellor: Rook+Knight compound), two Pegasus (Cardinal or Princess: Bishop+Knight compound) and two Almogavar (Ferz + War Machine compound, moves 1 hex diagonally or jumps 2 hexes orthogonally). Pawns move orthogonally on any of the three forward directions, and capture diagonally. Pawns have a 2 or 3 step initial move option, so en passant captures apply. The Scornful pawn capture is a new rule that allows a Pawn to capture forward orthogonally (with 60 of straight forward) an other Pawn that in the previous move was placed in front of it and made a 60 forward move to avoid it. Optionally Lion (Centaur: Prince also called Man or non royal King+Knight compound) can be introduced also.
