Yes, Joe, pieces not very powerful in this game and maybe knight move could strengthen as you say. But maybe best role of knight is sacrifice for pawn in right position! I think is okay sometimes to have slow game, like Shatranj that has no queen or bishop, and weak pieces mean pawn play more important. Need play to know for sure. I still think is game with potential.
