This game adds in an ingenious way the movements of several pieces of
Tamerlane chess, which is the 'grandfather' variant of all these XX and
XXI century 'chess variants boom': We have the camels, dabbaba, ferz,
alfil and wazir.

What if they were mixed on the other form? Substitute wazir by ferz (so
the champion is now colorbound) and the ferz by wazir (so now the wizard
is not colorbound). Anyone can try this at home without breaking
copyright. I think... But my idea is not that. Just to say that is is
interesting to try to see if the game becomes more complex or not, more
interesting or not.
