How about, you can choose to spend a turn to “inquire” about an enemy piece. If the piece is the ahab, it must move like a king for the rest of the game. So that way, even if your opponent chooses the queen, you can inquire and then it won’t be so powerful.

Then the players could just spend the first 16 moves inquiring. And whoever finds the Ahab first has an edge.

Yeah, any good players would just choose rooks and it would be too boring.

And with the new variant of "inquiring" I think @Green_Sleeves is right.

What if you can only inquire once for every time you capture a piece? Like if you capture a piece, then you have one inquire charge, or if you capture five, then you have five inquire charges. Makes people be more aggressive.
