The example David gives is indeed potent, but can be beaten by a stronger
force even without a Swapper (an if the enemy is weaker, why settle for an
unbeatable defense when you should be winning?)

The problem will all such formations is that they cannot be
maintained--the opponent arranges his moves so that you must either break
the formation or lose by triple repetition.

David is quite correct that the Swapper is highly valuable in breaking up
formations of this type. I fact, I suspect that this factor makes the
Swapper considerably more valuable than its Rococo counterpart.
