Concept OK, but adding powerful combo pieces may tend to slow things up!  

One alternative proposal: with a standard set-up, have RNBQs that are
OBSERVED by other RNBQs temporarily gain move types they intrinsically
lack and lose move types they intrinsically have. So (for example) Qd1,
Bb3, Rf3 and Nf2 temporarily results in d1=R+N, b3=R, f3=B, f2=R+N. 

A second alternative proposal: reverse the flow -- RNBQs temporarily gain
new move types or lose intrinsic move types based on the RNBQs that are
OBSERVED BY the piece. In the example, the temporary powers would be
d1=frozen, b3=R, f3=B+N, f2=R+B.
