I've tried this several times and it was quite enjoyable.  

A variant I tried was placing all four bishops along the opposite sides
that the knights were on, then removing a rook, king, or queen.  Then,
you
had to swap the knights and bishops. A bit harder, but still very
possible.


It is interesting how different pieces work in this game.  Rooks adjacent
to each other are quite mobile and work well, whereas the bishops can be
inconvenient.  Kings and Queens are the most mobile, so it is more
difficult and interesting if you remove one of them.
