Ok, here is some lobbying:

In a chess variant designed by committee, I think it'd be a good idea to
incorporate some aspects of politics into the game.  Rule suggestion #4
gives the pieces part of a politician's personality:  the unwillingness to
fight without the assurance of support.

Some have raised the concern that this will slow down the game too much. 
If this is so, we can compensate by making the pieces more powerful.

Go for #4!
