Another way to make playable a game with a royal Queen would have been to
restrict her movement within a 'Palace' (like the General in Chinese
Chess), for example an area of 4x3 squares (from d3 to g1 for white); and
make the Prince Consort confined to the Palace as well (like the
Mandarins).

The Queen could move exactly as in FIDE Chess and the Prince Consort
exactly as the King.

The idea of 'country-themed' games seems to me highly original. I could
imagine a 'German Chess' with Panzers, U-Boats and Zeppelins (and maybe a
royal Kaiser), or a 'French Chess' with Musketeers, or a 'Spanish Chess'
with Caravels, ...etc.
