Why do you think a Wizard is worth more than a Bishop? Do you know how to checkmate a King with two Wizards and a King on a 12x12 board? I haven't figured this out. I've only been able to stalemate the King. It may be possible on an Omega Chess board, because of the corner squares, but AFAIK the 12x12 board takes away that ability, decreasing the value of the Wizard from Omega Chess.
