I agree with the comments cited in the review: The Stone army (here black) is weaker than the Steel army (here white). I think that the imbalance can be corrected by giving the MAD INFANTRYMAN the possibility to move without capture as a Cylindrical Bishop and making the FOOL also to move and capture as a Cylindrical Bishop. Cylindrical Bishops are equal in value with Rooks according to experienced players of Cylindrical Chess.
P.S. I came back here to find out about the "Stone King" in Derzhanski's list of Chess pieces. I clearly see that the Black King moves as described, but the term "Stone" does not appear here. It is present in the PBM preset and also in one comment on the contest page where also the SteelQueen is mentioned.
