It occurs to me that a more even distribution of moves would be to have the Bishops on the Marshal side and the Knights on the Queen side, but perhaps your intention is to settle the debate on whether Bishop and Knight moves give more power once and for all over tournaments a single variant! Or perhaps you know of some tradition in Mainz of the church and the military not getting on! More information about the city's links with the number 11 would be interesting.
