The basic problem with doing the calculations, is that at heart, I'm lazy. I was hoping to scare an answer out of the woodwork, produced by some more energetic person. <p>In any case, I'm fairly sure that even on an 11x11 board, a Minister is at least as valuable as a Queen, which makes Spinal Tap Chess' restriction on Queen promotion but not Minister promotion inconsistant.
