I have one observation on this form of chess - while I love the idea and find it very exciting to contemplate, I am amongst the 20% or so of human males that are going to have real problems playing with it (women, darn them, will not have this problem, it's a sex-linked gene). Men with red/green color blindness can have a great deal of trouble distinguishing colors that are too similar unless they also differ in intensity (color-blind men are usually more sensitive to intensity relative to "normal" vision men). Since it can be quite a challenge to tailor the exact colors of a set of chessmen made by the usual methods (which typically use full-saturation and thus tend to cause problems for the color-blind) this may become a disadvantage in marketing. Sadly, the only other way I can suggest is to use patterns (blue-with-white stripe, blue-with-black stripe for instance) but I don't know if such pieces can be had for a reasonable amount of money. This problem may be insoluble in principle (or any other country or state =)
