This opening looks interesting: 1.Lion b5 Wizard a7 2.Lion a6 Chancellor c10. My experience with some other games indicates that the Lion just ends up wasting time by running about. Here is my two cents on piece values. First, don't worry about the constantly shifting value of the Pawns - human players are used to updating threat assessments. Next use the Midgame Value column for the endgame values, after subtracting a half point from the Bishop and adding a full point to the Archbishop.

Over on the TenCubed Chess page, Kevin mentioned this game. Here's one way to tell our 10x10 games apart. Opulent Chess uses the Thoat from Jetan for the NW piece, while Opulent Lemurian Shatranj uses the Padwar from Jetan for the War Elephant. All the TenCubed Chess pieces are made on Earth.
