Yesterday I made a serious mistake. Since the royal piece is not a king in chess but a gold general, a singgle major piece with a general can perform a checkmate in endgames. But it must be that the gold general on a higher rank and the green general on a lower rank.

I still have questions on Pegasus. Maybe this piece is so strong that gives gold advantage. The inventor set it on c1 in the opening. Because if set as queen in chess and general as king, Gold can checkmate by 1. Pf4++. Even the opening setup is gold Pegasus on c1, the shortest game could be 1.Pf3 Pc6 2. Pb4++. So if gold moves 1. Pf3, green has to defend b4 square. So it'sa tactic game right in the opening. But I believe a game with depth has possibilities of positional play.

I doubt if Pegasus is good to use. It leaps such a long space. Maybe it's hard to adjust its position. Has anyone approved that it can travel to every square on an 8x8 board?

Is it necessary to set all major pieces leapers? I suggest Pegasus could be a slider, which slides orthogonally to any direction and diagonally forward. This slider can checkmate green even if green general is on a higher rank.

Another question is why design Sergeant this way? Why not just use pawns in f.i.d.e. chess? Is there any necessity?
