John, okay, thanks for your further comments. Seems to me you're saying you might consider revising your rating? Frankly, I displayed my own rustiness in my last comment because I forgot about the promotion aspect of the game. For that I apologize. Naturally, it would appear to foreshorten things, add more tactical complexity.
Another angle is that I believe it's somewhat a myth that overpowered pieces have no place on an 8 x 8 board and I believe anyone who enjoys FIDE Chess can also enjoy Tripunch chess (for example), but that is indeed a matter of speculation, and here we are getting into an area of subjective aesthetics where people can legitimately disagree.
