Yes, definitely a great game - (I won't rate it here, because I've
already provided an excellent rating previously.)
I am not sure that it is a good idea to add more pieces, though. Going
too far in that direction sacrafices strategy for tactics, with a player
looking through all the pieces for the one that attacks just the right
combination of squares. Then one would have to pay very defencively,
always keeping all pieces protected, lest he open himself up to a viscious
fork by some strange piece, like a knight+alfilrider...
