Here is an awkward Bario likelyhood: Suppose we have a White Queen and a
White Bishop a Knight-move away from the Black King.  Now suppose Black
makes the last (or second-last) Bario move so that all pieces are known. 
Cycle #2 begins and all Barios return to undefined disk status.  It is
White's move.  Could White now use his 'former Queen Bario' or 'former
Bishop Bario' as a Knight and take the Black King?  If not, could they
become Knights and move away from the Black King?  Or, would Black's last
Bario revelation be illegal because it is like moving into Check (but only
if White creates a Knight)?
Also, assume a Queen is off the board prior to Cycle #2.  When cycle #2
hits does a 'on-the-board' Bario get to be moved as a Queen?  It seems
this would be the case... but the rules do not address this issue.  I
think we somehow need to come up with an addendum that addresses the
several unknown issues so that cv players will be playing by the same
rules.  This will certainly be needed for a zrf version and for potential
tournament play.
