This seems an improvement over Terachess II. I like the larger diversity of pieces, rather than just taking pairs of the very strong pieces. And the initial setup is guaranteed to be Cannon-proof, something I had great worries about in Gigachess II and Terachess II.
It does seem somewhat of a slow game, though, as there doesn't seem to be another method of breaking through the double wall of Pawn-like pieces other than attacking it with Pawns. But this is ameliorated by the Pawns always having the double move.
