Yes indeed. The website where he posted his original rules had each piece move and capture exactly the same way. But on the site, he notes that he was working on advanced rules, but he hadn't posted them. I emailed him requesting them, and he sent them to me in French and said he would post them when translated to English. I offered to try, but as I said before, I ended up giving up. This was in 2007, so it's really fortunate that you are doing this, as I don't even know how much interest he still has int he project. But I feel the advanced rules probably better represent how the game might have been with unique abilities, and they surely make a more interesting and complex game, so I'm glad to finally see this come to fruition.
