It occurs to me that the Archchancellor is almost certainly stronger than the FIDE Queen, as the standard Chancellor/Marshal is generally judged very nearly as strong as the Queen and this piece adds in the Ferz move. I wonder how much stronger. Having recently been looking into Ajax pieces I also wonder how much the intermediate addition of only the noncapturing Ferz move strengthen the Chancellor/Marshal compared to the Queen.
