I'd estimate the piece vales for this 10x10 game (in the endgame at least) as: P=1; C=2.75; N=3; B=3.5; FAD=CH=WZ=3.75; R=5.5; Q=R+B+P=10; K's fighting value=2.5 approx. The variant's name comes from its designing being influenced by Shako, Omega Chess, Hannibal Chess and Opulent Chess, to varying degrees. The game also has a resemblance to TenCubed Chess IMHO, in hindsight. Note that a Champion plus a K can force mate vs. lone K (on 10x10) in 39 moves maximum - Dr. H.G. Muller, citing endgame tables, which was another inspiration for this variant's design. Also note that all the pawns are protected in the setup.
