I would suggest revising the movements of the bishop and queen, as they seem a bit too powerful, but I haven't actually played the game, and the implementation of custodian captures might limit them sufficiently (still, a piece that can move to any square on the board if it starts in the center would mean that if any two enemy pieces were next to each other, and the queen was in the center, it could capture the opposing piece, no matter where on the board this encounter takes place . . .) My solution to this problem might be to restrict the range of the bishop (and hence the queen), but it is hard to tell what that would do to the game.
