Flowerman, I'm not entirely certain if a normal Queen can be used instead of Maharaja but I am guessing chances are not as good for her. Hans Bodlaender writes 'A carefully playing black player should be able to win' and since a Queen is weaker than the Queen+Knight Maharaja it is likely that Black has more chance of winning.
