In Great Shatranj, I very strongly favor not using the rook, as using rooks changes the entire flow and play of the game. The rook is a very powerful piece in this game, as the only long range piece. And while the rook may not be the most powerful piece, the DW ['dababba'] is certainly the weakest, although it maintains the crucial quality of mating with the king. As for the standard Capa variants, I don't have a preference. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID NextChess4 does not match any item.
