The is an ideal test bed for the WcR vs WmR question and also the question
of asymmetric move and capture vs symmetric move and capture.  Run three
sets of CWDA games:

1. Remarkable Rookies vs. Remarkable Rookies with WcR in the corner
2. Remarkable Rookies vs. Remarkable Rookies with WmR in the corner
3. Remarkable Rookies with WcR vs Remarkable Rookies with WmR

If I can find the time, I will run some Zillions games over the weekend.

In thoery, the short Rook used in the standard Rookies is equal to the WcR
and the WmR.

I predict that testing will show WmR the weakest and the other two quite
close, but the only result that would really surprise me is for the WmR to
beat the WcR consistently.
