Seems interesting, I played a game and got annihilated in like 5 moves by the computer though.
A historic and very playable variant. What's not to love?

Of course, no question about Grande Acedrex, where most of pieces are named after exotic animals.
This game uses an unusual initial setup to achieve a better result than The Sultan's Game, an 11x11 chess variant invented by L. Tressan in 1840. I tried replacing the Queen + Knight compound with the somewhat weaker Bishop + Nightrider compound in Unicorn Great Chess in 2001.
Excellent rating for a game this old, of course Christian Freeling's Grand Chess has set a new standard for chess on the 10x10 board.
