I have made the above mentioned playable in ChessV to check if to much firepower does not make the game blend. The amound of firepower does not seem to me a problem in the games I watched with ChessV playing itself. But I got another worry. There are four pieces in both games that are around 5 pawns of strength (slightly weaker that the rook) and nothing in between. So I had chosen to invent the super alpaca that in betza is written WmDmF. The super alpaca worths around 2.5 pawns. First I had tried with 4 super alpacas each side but the games became to clogged. So I than chose a more conservative 2 super alpacas game. In the end I came up with the following which I consider an improvement over the original two games.
