I think the mechanism -- having an important game event triggered by whether something can be deduced by a decision of one of the players, along with the 'natural laws' operating within the game (in this case, the known composition of the armies) -- is interesting in itself. In fact I think it might achieve more of its potential in a game that's based much less tightly on usual chess. (Sometimes I wonder whether the same thing might hold true of Extinction Chess's concept.)
