I am interested this variant because I am fascinated by large chess variants, and this variant is LARGE (Dragonchess beats it though). One thing bothers me, though. The Queen. She retains her status as the only unique piece other than the King. She retains her place of honor by the King's side. But there is nothing special about her in this version. She is trumped to two Amazons, and a number of other pieces come close to her in value.
