I don’t see the point in additionally rewarding the more successful player. This way, a game would become imbalanced and end pretty soon. Basically you’d win the game after your first bonus.

Or games could be drawn out with defensive play by both sides. bumuming two players who don’t hang pieces every other move. Any N/B trade would open up interesting and complex tactical situations, though.

I think the pawn rule may need some modification to have it actually come into play. Losing all of one’s pawns isn’t very likely to happen soon. Maybe +1 movements after taking 4 of your opponent’s pawns and another +1 for taking the last one?
