take for instance, the 'missile' in 'american chess'. now this is a
superpowerful piece, able to go to every square on the board, except the
final rank. also it is much more powerful than all the other pieces.
and yet, it is not too powerful for the game.
it is the construction of the game ALONE, that not only makes it playable,
but actually makes it enhance the game ... amazing.
