John Smith asks: 'How would a Rook be strengthened by adding a Tripper's move? How would a Bishop be strengthened by adding a Threeleaper's move?'

My guess is, considerably. On a related note, see my note on piece values relating to Unicorn Great Chess. I introduced the Grand Rook, a Rook-Alfil-Ferz combination worth 100 points less than the Queen on a 10x10 board. I would expect the Grand Rook and the Chancellor to have the same value on any square board, as they are (roughly) similar in design.
