And thus I am convinced, that I have to include this aspect into SMIRF's successor's detail evaluation function.

... This can still be done in a reasonably realistic mix of pieces, e.g. replacing Q and C on one side by A, and on the other side by Q and A by C, so that you play 3C vs 3A, and then give additional Knight odds to the Chancellors. ...

And by that this would create just the problem I have tried to demonstrate. The three Chancellors could impossibly be covered, thus disabling their potential to risk their own existence by entering squares already influenced by the opponent's side.
