Sam, in Russian chess (Fide-chess with Amazon instead of queen), the single Amazon can easily get exchanged, leading to drawish play. Gustav III's Chess is totally different. Why don't you try my Zillions program? Play can be very brutally tactical in the middlegame. One can often sacrifice several pieces since the Amazon has such great mating potential. It's great fun.
