Indeed, the 'Base' in Prince uses exactly this idea. Note, however, that this is in the context of 3D boards, while the idea as I reported it was supposed to be for ordinary 2-dimensional variants.
I wonder why this idea is not encountered more often. If I had been aware of it earlier, I probably would have used a diagonal area mover in Team-Mate Chess. As in the end-game this must be a quite strong piece, while its color binding still prevents it from having mating potential.
