This new Elephant really seems like a kludge. How about an Elephant that moves and captures as any piece you have captured? It has a low value in the opening, but becomes very powerful in the endgame, so it is a good piece that does not hamper flow.
It is to my understanding that any piece positioned as per Ganesha in this game, and that has a value of Rook or higher, will actually be detrimental to the game, as being easily pinned so early on can completely ruin the game's flow. Therefore I have edited the Elephants way of movement to be more respective of this fact.
If anybody has a moment, it would be good to hear other's views on the value of this Elephant piece. Please feel free to comment on how many points you think this piece is worth. Thank you.
Haha, I'm glad you think so, and please feel free to use any ideas from that game in your own! Over all though I prefer pieces with 'absolute' movement as opposed to movement determined by other variables... and so I concluded that it was too much of a mouth full and that this latest idea, 'Sovereign Chess' is just what my brain needs.
Appreciate your comment John, and am touched by how much you pay attention! However, I had decided to scrap the old Ganeshan Chess variant in favour of this one instead.
I have an idea. How about a Ganesha that moves as any piece you just moved?
