The birth of two variants: Apothecary chess 1 & Apothecary chess 2[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

I think it is normal for the pawn in apothecary 2 to worth a tiny bit more than in apothecary 1 as the minor pieces there are weaker.

Also there will be a Queens vs Griffins experiment, coming up next after griffins vs aancas.

About R-P vs N and R+P vs 2N, keep in mind that knights aren't the same nor the same with the classic knights so they have to be measured first. Moreover I'd rather put an aanca/archbishop -pawn(s) at the upper bound of a rook. It makes more sense to me as it involves the natural progression of pieces.

Thank you, H.G.
