So that rule does not really need to be modified. It will actually put pressure on each player. To take down that last General before the limit, or to keep that last General through the limit. There has been several promotion in each game, but these have not seriously increased the length of these games. Often they were last ditch efforts to create a needed General to stay in the game. With the modified set-up, there is the opportunity of power piece development early in the game. Whereas the original created a barricade which had to be removed to allow such pieces out on the field. The resulting structures from the new set-up resemble roman troop formations. The value of the Missiles are so high that they are rarely risked on any piece except the General. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID american chess does not match any item.
