Material values of pieces change dramatically, to be useless on some squares, and never get back to the action. There is never a reduction to a piece-starved endgame. One side can often win with almost all material lost. Many pieces have limited or zero backwards mobility, so getting your king into the enemy camp is an option. Great game, much deeper than chess. Bean-counting not possible at present search depths. All is decided by king action. Bella
