Kevin,
I have a Modern Chess set, so I checked the official rules. They state that the game be played as it is set up. That is, one player has two bishops on white, the other had two bishops on black. The author seems to think this is better. The inventor permits, with prior agreement of both players before the start of the game, the "Adjustment of the Bishop". Each player may swap one bishop with either neighboring piece, providing neither has moved. This expressly forbidden in the official rules.
