I'm currently playing a game of Grand Ducal Chess with John Ayer, which uses a pair of lame bishop-dabbabah-riders, This game, 2009 by John, was adapted from Emperor Chess, 12x12, 1954 by HR Lambert, NYC, which uses the lame bishop-dabbabah-rider as the title piece. I would suggest this somewhat weaker early version of the adjutant might be more suitable in some games, being far more blockable than Mats' adjutant.
