In the Rookery C.D.A. line-up F_G_L_Q_K_W_E_F, 5.0-point Falcons take
cornered mounts, and the many Rooks are subtly down-valued to 3.0, all of
Green Rook, Land Rook, Water Rook and Yellow Rook. Water and Land are
Bishop-counterparts in never leaving White and Black respectively. Green
and Yellow move Rookwise, however capture-mode only allowed on black and
white respectively. Betza's Nutty Knights versus the Rookery will be
interesting, basically several different Knights playing several different
Rooks with Falcons the glue. Betza embodies C.D.A. on 8x8 and Peter Hatch
Fantasy Grand different armies 10x10, suggesting reasonable intermediate
8x10 too. That would enable inclusion of vintage Parton P Panda, added, who
moves passively Rook-like and actively same way but only colourbound, the
Pooka-eries, as F_P_L_G_Q_K_E_W_P_F. Now you see them, now you don't,
Pooka-eries their polysyllabic ten letters for 10-wide preferred 8x10.
Next, would the Pooka-eries match well with the Druids,
