Interesting, and the Cobra looks nice. I have not played the game yet, but my first impression is that the density of power is too high in this game, and complex tactics may dominate over long-term strategies, the game seems to be very deep. I may have a more precise opinion after trying it, I expect soon.

'ABCLargeCV': The main novelty is the 'Cobra'; Peterson is wrong that 'Duke' as (N+K) is a new piece: there are usages of (N+K) found in Pritchard's ECV. Cobra moves like the Rook in Xiangqi along points, but occupies all four adjoining squares. Lavieri's comment about high-power density shows Cobra's vulnerability. Peterson is off the mark that it would be of Queen value here; instead more like 5 or 6 versus any of its Carrera-compound's 8 or 9. Cobra can capture one or two at a time, but can itself be captured at any of its four squares by any piece. Average innovation that will be useful in establishing a baseline for other pieces that occupy, or have effects over, more than one cell (like we use Sissa to compare riders which change direction in that group).

Cobra occupies one intersection, corner, at a time, while all the others occupy one square at a time.
