On a 10x10 board, the forwardmost (1,3) jump is not so dangerous, as you suggest.<P>
The real problem with the 10x10 board is that I do all my analysis and playtesting blindfold, and the chessboard in my head is only 8x8. For this reason, I give only small amounts of attention to other board sizes.<P>
If you really want to do some heavy 10x10 work, run the numbers through my methods for estimating the
whole-game mobility of Knigh and Rook and Rhino and so forth, then make some different armies!<P>
However, I did find one problem with Chess on a Really Big Board -- Pawns are funny. Pawns might be okay on 10x10, but I don't think I really answered the question of what Pawns should be on 16x16.
