Okay. I wasn't completely sure if it qualified to everyone as a seperate variant (like Reverso Chess is given on CVP as a seperate CV from chess, in spite of being just reverse symmetric [oddly, with the White K and Q switching]). I'll be glad if there's ever a rules-enforcing preset for it and/or your spin-off asymmetric sub-variant. At least the ideas are there. At the moment my laptop is driving me slightly crazy, so just as well I'm not trying to make any submissions soon.
I do think it might be an idea to try such CVs with straight Capablanca Chess castling rules, just to see if fancier castling rules really are necessary - some people may prefer classical-style castling for tradition's (and simplicity's) sake.
