So I tested a variety of different paralysing pieces (only orthogonal, etc,) and came up with the following. Pyrrhus: moves and captures like a king. In addition, it paralyses any enemy piece within queen-move range. The Pyrrhus seems to be as valuable as a queen. If this has been invented before, please tell me. It is a piece which is much easier to master while it moves at a much slower pace. Yet, its range of influence is that of a queen. It fits perfectly on an 8x8 board in the standard piece set. But it's not certain that it's suitable for big-board variants, while it moves so slowly. I have not tested it on a big board.
