In fact, when you take a Pawn and use it to promote a piece,
then you lose one piece (you cannot demote to an empty cell). 
It's not very good to have very few pieces because that 
implies on little manoeuvrability: one would be playing abstract
chess, the other just chess.

About Lawson's suggestion, it sounds good. That's the beauty
of new games, many open and unexplored possibilities, even 
if we always have to face that the game can be broken in the 
long term.

I've played two face 2 face games with a friend and the games
went ok. That's not enough to judge a game, but it is a good 
start :)
