Chess variant design principles[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

That's not quite a good principle, if left unqualified. A queen can threaten just about anything and, except for a knight, other pieces can threaten the queen but be taken by it possibly, in FIDE chess, for example.

From Fergus' article on designing good CVs:

'Include pieces with differing powers of movement. Each can attack the other without being attacked back.'

I think what he might have wrote instead of 'Each' was 'Some' or 'Many'.
