[Reply to Andreas] I believe that 14 Archbishops is the maximum number that don't attack each other: 8 on the first rank and 6 more on the 8th rank (from b8 to g8). No idea how many Archbishops are needed to attack each square on the board.
Eight Chancellors placed on a long diagonal do not attack each other. Eight Rooks on: a1 c2 e3 g4 b5 d6 f7 h8 attack each EMPTY square on the board. Replacing these pieces with Chancellors covers all 64 squares.
