Joseph, I couldn't have resisted either--in fact I thought of that before my last comment, but the SRC Amazon would be a bit too strong--with its fbN move, it can reach 1/2 the board without a capture, so its value is probably more like 3/4 of an Amazon=mesurably stronger than a FIDE Queen. This weekend I think I'll do a ZRF and playtest.
