'DEF,LargeCV': (In contrast, Drop Chess is one that fails to add anything to Betza's Ch-Diff-Armies.) This Fantasy Grand Chess tries to extend C-D-A to 10x10 and at least has some good pieces to extract. Somewhat thought out, teams are not so equally power-matched as Betza's: Elves are stronger, Druids not so. Under-utilized pieces within these several Fantasy links recommended (in varying degree): Mage, Cannon, Cyclops, Two-headed Cyclops, Titan. Not recommended: Pegasus, Crooked Bishop, Crooked Rook. Maybe a computer could determine the worthwhile match-ups of Armies. This analysis is not comprehensive.
