Ämne: Black's advantage

I have become aware of black's big advantage in this, and have been told that it will be changed. I think that even if you eliminate pawn promotions, there are still really no pieces white can take unless black gives them to white. The idea of having 2 Majarajah's for white wouldn't make a big difference either. Even if both had to be taken for the game to end, black could still force 2 extra queens (if white sacraficed one of their pieces).

I thought it might be a better idea to simply elimiate both of black's rooks. Even then i think black would have an advantage, but it wouldn't be near as big.

I also thought maybe giving white the row of pawns in addition to the maharajah (white has only the maharajah in the back row) it could be more fair.

The pawn row idea seems to be the most interesting to me. Maybe not all 8 pawns, what about 4 pawns on odd or even columns?

Whatever you think would help! :-)

Or what about files 1, 4, 5 and 8? Prevents Blacks' guaranteed queens without sacrificing white's pawns.
