Muller is aware of following, so for other readers> Not overstrong, Falcon
is always second in value to Queen only, though arguably Rook and Falcon
equalise the last moves endgames. With RNFBQKBFNR, the Knight cannot reach
the unprotected Pawn in three. Cheops' FRNBQKBNRF is recommended by
Abdul-Rahman Sibahi (his first choice RFNBQKBNFR with unprotected Falcon Pawn) and others. Without cornered
Rook, Pyramids' FBRNQKNRBF also protects all Pawns. Templars' RBFNQKNFBR oddly protects them all preserving corner symmetry. One of the Falcon-centralised arrays is Osiris' RNBQFFKBNR protecting all. In
Fairy-Max I like all the representations for play with no difficulty, but
especially Falcon head (Game Courier has lesser head) setting off as it
does Knight.
