We can very much leave Betza's game as is and invent a improved version ourselves. There is nothing wrong with that. And balance is the primary goal but to me the flavor is what bring the spice :)!

I don't say CWDA needs rescuing it is a good game. But I also see it as a good lesson, we could use. The musketeer chess approach is meant to offer a way to balance the imbalances in a specific way to each match, because yes it is about armies and not the individual pieces but there is that old libertarian saying that society is made out of individuals which I think goes well here. A pair of minors or a rooklike and a bishoplike piece would at least open more doors which is hardly done otherwise, as far as I can see!
