Wildebeest Chess design analysis:
# squares: 110
# piece types: 8
Piece-type density: 7.27%
Est. piece values: P1, N3, B3, R5, Q10, K3, C4, W8
Initial piece density: 40%
Power density: 1.27
Exchange Gradient: 0.499; (1-G) = 0.501
Ave. Game Length Projected: #Moves=((3.5)(110)(0.0727))/((1.2727)(0.499))
                             =            Moves
Features: Unbalanced initial positioning suggests a hundred more 
          variations on the same board with the same pieces.
Comments: As Z increases, mostly this board size determines #M, but the  
          other factors remain important adjustments
