Was going to go to bed after my last comment, but Gary beat me to the punch
again.

I don't think that I am in any way advocating less power on the
chessboard. What I am suggesting is a different distribution of the power.
I'm not shy about putting power pieces on a chessboard - look at the piece
values in Lemurian/Atlantean Barroom and see if you'd be willing to play
the FIDE/Grand  Chess pieces against them. Linear distance traveled is not
the only measure of power.

Douglas Silfen has just posted 'Iron Guard' chess, where the white queen
is replaced by an invulnerable [cannot be captured at all] guard piece.
What's the value of that piece that only moves 1 square per turn?
