Good subject.
I have a request: unequal armies game, where one player have usual king,
other have royal queen, wich can't make single step (as picket in
Tamerlanee chess). Game can be themed as short range vs long range, for
example, if one player have rook, other player have modern dababa
(dababa+wazir), if one player have bishop, other have modern elephant
(shatranj elephant+shatranj ferz), or short range player have pieces from
Grand shatranj.
I'm thinking about game on 6x6 board (here values of short range and long
range pieces, used here, are close), but i'm not sure that it' balanced:

D - modern dababa, A - modern elephant, q - is weak royal queen i described
above, other pieces are usual.

Or a large board, where short range player have Grand shatranj pieces
instead modern alfil and dababa, plus  players have strong knight variants:
nightrider for LR, squirel for SR. And pawns are stewards for SR and
pawnriders for LR.
