Haynie's high power fairy chess 64

Billy Haynie invented the following chess variant.

Rules

The game is played on an 8 by 8 chess board. Some pieces are replaced by others: rooks are replaced by intrepids, knights by amazons, bishops by wazirs, and queens by chimeras.

   I A W C K W A I

I: Intrepid: has combined moves of ferz and rook. A ferz moves one square diagonally.

A: Amazon: has combined moves of queen and knight.

W: Wazir: moves one square orthogonally.

C: Chimera: has combined moves of queen, nightrider, camel, and zebra. A nightrider can make one or more knight moves in the same direction, only the last of these possibly capturing. A camel makes a stretched knights-jump, going three squares in one orthogonal direction and one in the other (a (3,1)-jump); and a zebra makes similarly a (3,2)-jump.

All other rules are as in usual chess. Pawns move as usual, but promote to intrepid, amazon, wazir or chimera.
