Fwiw, here's a link to Alekhine Chess, which uses 1 Amazon and 2 Queens: http://www.chessvariants.com/index/external.php?itemid=zAlekhineChess Also fwiw, I seem to recall somewhere one person commented that that game could be better with 2 Amazons and 1 Queen, so as to lessen the chance that all the Amazons might be traded off... you can't please everybody. I wanted to keep Sac Chess fairly close to standard chess in spirit, in a way I hope that's understandable, when adding all the compound pieces to fill in the spaces in each side's camp, on a 10x10 board. Including Amazons in a variant always seems to create some sort of a backlash eventually, but I couldn't resist doing so since they seemed a natural extension of the compounds that I used (which are all the crowned or knighted standard chess pieces).
