Thank you for noticing the balance of the game. Amongst other things, I
took into account total piece count, number of opening moves, types of
moves, and the number of movable spaces available to all pieces on an
unobstructed board, and attempted to maintain the ratios that exist in
traditional chess.
I am happy to see that lasting documentation of my efforts still exists.
