R-N-Dragon Horse-B-Dragon King-K-B-Centaur-N-R is Capablanca's Chess with three piece substitutions. Dragon Horse moves like Bishop or Wazir - called a 'General' in Mir Chess 32 and Midgard Chess. Dragon King moves like Rook or Ferz - called a 'Crowned Rook' in The Duke of Rutland's Chess. Centaur (Crowned Knight) moves like Knight or Ferz or Wazir.

I am thinking of [R+P] value for the Dragon Horse and Centaur on 80 squares and [R+P+P] value for the Dragon King (also the Archbishop).

EDIT: 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Ke2 Qe4 is a FIDE checkmate that also works if the Queens are replaced by Dragon Kings.
