With these relocation rules the rooks remain in their natural positions, and the bishops are always positioned so that there is still a choice to develop them on either of the queen's or the king's wing. This maintains the strategical ambiguity of the initial position, while sound positions ...
Rules All FIDE rules apply except in the following. A player can choose in his turn, to make a FIDE move or to perform a swap sequence, respecting the following: To perform a swap, one must be a player's piece P1 (except the King), and the other (any piece) must be at the rang...
