Now this extension uses the same material as the "old" game. There are
some modifications which make for a much faster and surely harder
game: more move options (diagonals and double-moves) and a different
capture rule. The X variant is not meant to replace the original
design though.

The original game is generally a slow one and rewards more defensive
play. That's not a bad thing, yet I had the feeling there was more
potential in the concept. So I started to think about it again, and
the X rules just fell into place.
