Just like the medieval players of Courier Chess, I regard my diagonal moving piece as stronger than a Rook - perhaps equal on a 10x10 board. Adrian King calls the (BW) piece a Scirocco in Scirocco (revised) and has never considered it equal to a Rook on the 10x10 board. He replaced Rooks in his game with Chariots (R4) to make the Scirocco the most powerful piece in the initial setup. Computer analysis may end up proving him right.
