Senorita Simpatica, thank you for your comment.  Will see how it goes.  The
objective of IAGO chess isn't just a variant, but a framework by which
Chess can evolve over time, and have variants integrated.  It will need to
be tweaked of course.  The variant is the starting point, using the
framework, as a way to introduce the Capablanca pieces onto the boar.

Graeme Neatham, I have tried to fit your suggestion into the framework of
IAGO Chess.  Hopefully this will work, and you can see a multitude of
approaches that will help mitigate congestion and overpowered issues. 
Feel free to check it out and comment.  My only concern now regarding the
approach you have, is that it doesn't create a variable and deep opening
book.  This is one of the advantages Seirawan Chess has, and IAGO Chess
has.  The promotion is good as a way to break through at the end game, to
close things out, but the opening is still the same.
