Hello Zillions fans, I have a question.

I have written a variation of the game Omega Chess, using the Omega Chess 104 square chessboard and some of the same pieces. It is sort of a blend of Omega Chess and another game that I enjoyed tremendously as a kid.

I think its pretty fun and interesting. Fans of both games will recognize the blending of the concepts and would probably enjoy playing it.

Can I post this variation on Zillions without violating any copyrights? I'm not looking to make any money, take credit for anyone's ideas, or anything of the kind. I will also give full credit to all sources of inspiration for my variation, sing the praises of the original games and links to their websites in the game description files.

I just want to share with everyone what I think is a fun variation of Omega Chess. But if I can't do it without violating copyright law then I will keep this game to myself and enjoy it with my friends.

Please advise or let me know if you need more information.

You can post this variation without violating any copyrights. As you describe it the game is different from either of the two games that were blended to create it.
