I didn't think the point was comparison, but in any case I certainly think it
would be an interesting chess variant to try.  It seems like it would give the
humans a crushing advantage, but maybe because of the time it would take to
fiddle with the pieces the tradeoff would be less clear.  It sounds as fun as
any other chess variant.  I'll have to try it myself and see if I can do any
better against my computer. :)
