Intriguing idea, Aurelian. Maybe once we can get the Friend coded in?

Meanwhile, I'm contemplating a back row with one each King, Queen, Candlestick, Knife, Lead Pipe, Revolver, Rope, and Wrench. I haven't quite figured out the XBetza for those last six yet; my intent can be found here. (I hope to build a full-fledged mashup some time in the future.) I have a suspicion that my descriptions may unnecessarily overpower the FIDE set. (Maybe a Wazir instead of a Queen?)

PS: I'm quite fond of the Lame Duck and Half-Duck from the Sliders set, and the Dragon Fly from the Dragons.
