The name for this game is misleading. I was expecting it to be Courier Chess played by Alice Chess rules, but instead it has two 8x8 boards, and the Courier is actually a Dragon Horse rather than the Courier in Courier Chess. In the piece descriptions, this piece is called a General instead of a Courier.
Maybe replacing the Bishops with more mobile pieces will help in an Alice Chess type game, but replacing the Queens with much less mobile colorbound pieces might have the opposite effect.
