Love the rebuild of chess. It's less a variant and more a unique offering, like shogi as example.
I'd say two things surprised me. In changing almost every piece on the board was there any thought of a different approach to the pawn?
And, of more interest, doing something to save te knight from its 'pasted on feel', the only real disappointment with the game so far? It woul be rare that promotion to a knight would be a better option than a taken piece IMO so I doubt knights get much play.
Perhaps making them a 'Veteran Knight' knight/camel combined move would help.
Or, allowing promotion to a knight on 8 and 9 row, to anything captured in 10th. In that was a knight might be better option as it arrives to the fray earlier.

Just a couple of thoughts.
