I've revised my estimates for the values of the Pegasus, Hydra and Unicorn in this game, besides a bit earlier explaining some basic principles that may be applicable to many forms of chess. This variant may yet prove surprisingly viable. It had a tiny part of its inspiration due to my fancy for the names or moves of certain pieces. The setup position is admittedly not highly symmetrical, but perhaps in a way that's more endearing than ugly if one gets accustomed to it. In the setup the 7 additional piece types were placed where they are for a reason, with more valuable pieces generally closer to the rear. The density of pieces to empty cells in the setup is 55%, closer to that of orthodox chess (50%) than, say, Glinski's Hexagonal Chess (40%).
