I see a possible flaw with the spacing thing. If a person were to capture a piece that landed on every second square, they could checkmate their opponent by dropping it right in from of the ramshead soldier. The RS wouldn't be able to take the piece, since it would have to jump over it, and the king would be trapped. Having a piece in front of the RS would probably help that, so I think we should put a silver general or something in that spot in order to prevent a cheap checkmate like that. Maybe you think that would be OK though. Thoughts?
