With two Queens, the game will be even more overly Queen-reliant than orthodox chess. May I suggest the following rule changes: 1. The Queen can move only up to two spaces orthogonally or diagonally. 2. The Bishop can also move one square orthogonally, but may not capture this way.
The inventor claims that the both-bishops-bound-to-the-same-color problem is fixed by a special move that allows a bishop to shift one space to the opposite spacing (dark to light for both players). In fact, moves themselves are too valuable of a resource in chess-related games for this special move to entirely compensate the imbalance (at the cost of 1 move). Thus, the dark spaces still possess some pre-eminence in bishop power.
Just plain stupid to have bishops on the same color. It would be easy to fix by swapping one bishop-knight pair.
