I could surely do Switching Chess; I think I've got a decent handle on
that game.  And I'm willing to try more than one game.  I'm not sure
that my experience with Switching Chess means I'm ready for Rococo,
though.  But, since Tony said he's willing to play Rococo, how about Tony
and George play Rococo (original version), and I play Switching Chess with
either Tony or George, or both.

However, please note, that I do consider a pawn in Switching Chess to be
worth somewhat more than 1.0, and would be weighing moves under that
hypothesis.  Switching makes pawns more mobile, and able to get to the
eigth rank in circumstances where they would otherwise not be able to. 
And, since pawn promotion is usually decisive in the endgame, I would
seriously consider trading a Knight for two pawns, if I felt that it gave
me some tempo.
