Yeah, I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to get at least one or two of my games approved, so I can start posting this "Friendly Game of Chess."

I'm thinking of using a huge board (20x16?) with 2-4 Friends per side, otherwise loading both up with riders, bent sliders, long leapers, rifle capturers, and other pieces with crazy powers (like the Bodyguard). That, I think, would lead to some really crazy matches.

PS: My answer to your question of Orphan/Friend interaction is: both. An Orphan protecting a Friend, or a Friend attacking an Orphan, would pass on both its own abilities and those that it's borrowing.
