Since H.G. Muller finds Falcon and Rook separated almost indistinguishably in value for most purposes, here's a CDA using Falcon: FNBQKBNF. That simply paired Falcon Army should match up with Pizza Kings or Remarkable Rookies or OrthoChess for a level, "equal-unequal" playing field. Of course Muller already did this in a long trial at Fairy-Max, and Rooks came out ahead somewhat in strict point-count of wins and losses on 64.
