(having given ratings of Excellent previously and not wishing to overdo
it)
I note that the mixture of non-Pawns in this variant is one King, one
each
of the two strongest pieces, and two each of four others - a description
which also applies to Shogi. This has inspired me to add a subvariant to
my Bishogi family of
variants(http://www.chessvariants.org/shogivariants.dir/bishogi.html),
using the Wildebeest Chess mix of pieces (but two Pawns fewer) on a Shogi
board and called Wildebishogi.
