hist-games: Gala, Courier Chess, Frisian draughts

[Damian Walker]

Quoting Peter Michaelsen's message of Yesterday:

> I find your idea about a possible relationship between the courier in

It was just an idle fancy, but it was the only chess piece with a long 
diagonal move that I know of before the advent of modern chess.  If 
there are others, they may instead have been an influence.
