I think this game is quite good. It's so easy to learn, I taught it to my
aunt in a few minutes. After that, we played a few games, alternating
sides. Neither white nor black seem to have an advantage. The games also
last only about half as long as orthodox chess, so I think this game is
good for anyone who's pressed for time.

Of the 'unequal' variants, this was the first, and because it's such a
good one, I think it deserves to be a Recognized Variant.
