The birth of two variants: Apothecary chess 1 & Apothecary chess 2[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Now the minor pieces vs pawns tests have started. In these tests 1 (and just 1) minor piece is deleted and that side receives an extra pawn in compensation. The opposite side has 2 pawns deleted for a total of 3 pawns for the piece. The first apothecary 2 such test has finished with the following results:

Zebra VS 3 Pawns

Zebra Wins: 101

Pawns Wins:72

Draws:27

Zebra Points :114.5

Pawns Points:85.5

 

I was personally expecting balance here, so I'm a little surprized.
