HG,
I don't totally agree with you here.
The thing is that some combinations are more interesting than others making that different than a neutral new integer number. But true riders are just very difficult to actually use, not just humanly difficult to observe.
Jean-Louis,
Actually it is not a matter of taste. At the end of the day there is crafting into designing chess variants with their pieces. Sure there is room for taste but a camelrider-zebrarider compound is just too crazy for my above mentioned reasons.
