Granted, but you could try for an army that easily defends a yeoman, or one
where all your Y are defended from the start. Nightrider for Yeoman is not
a change I would be glad to do...

Plus, if the piece that is behind the Y is weak and defended, the pinning
on the targeted Y is moot.

This is not to say that you can't make some nasty things with Nightriders,
but since they are powerful, they will be careful of entering the fight
soon. An Nightriders are expensive...

But they are interesting... N on e1 and g1, and moving Yf4 (possibly)
threatens and/or pins Y at c9 and i9. Defend the Y a knight jump away of
your powerful pieces from the start...
