Hi, I just wanted to ask about multi-player variants in knightmare chess. At http://www.sjgames.com/knightmare/multiplayer.html
you can see the setup for the 3 and 4 player boards but they dont match discriptions.

In 3 player version discription says:"Red and Black each have ten pieces: four Pawns, two Bishops, one each of Knight, Rook, Queen, and King." but on board you can see six pawns and no bishops on red and black

In 4 player team variation discription says:"Each of the four sides (White, Black, Red, Brown) has nine pieces: one King, one Queen, one Rook, one Knight, one Bishop, and four pawns." but on board there is five pawns each and no bishops.

Any idea how you should set up these variants, which pawns should be replaced with bishops?
