With a game as unusual as this, it's difficult to say without playing it, which I'm not able to do at present. My guess is that it would be difficult to see more than a move or two ahead with the pieces changing types on almost every move. Also, in chess the slow-moving interconnected pawn chains create a kind of terrain the pieces must move around. In this game, as soon as a pawn moves it's no longer a pawn, so the center of the board will be a free-for-all of powerful pieces. Still, it might be fun.
