well i must admit, i like the original way you set the pawns, i think it
suits the 'theme' of the game, the pieces etc ... did you find a flaw?
.. i know it is pretty tense right from the start, it must be a slower
game with the pawns starting on the 3rd .. more 'chessy' .. of course it
will play great, but i think, if original setting is too unstable, you
could tighten it up, maintaining the original theme .. glad i got the
'beta' verison he he :) .. maybe you could put two variants out, they
would be so different. anyway, changing pawns makes hugh difference to
game, pretty interesting :)
