The link at bottom shows origin of Knappen's Quintessence. Since there was recent talk about Amazon, Amazon, Amazon, I had in my notes at the cafe this morning to regard Pentere. This Pentere is stronger than Amazon! Queen plus Quintessence has all the Amazon moves plus continuation of that one form of NightRider from Knappen's article. Last week I was already thinking of the piece-types stronger than Amazon, such as Conway's Angel. /Nachtmahr>
