Here's a diagram for a 12x8 CV invention idea of mine, which might be called 'Janus-Spiel', and which I can study at my leisure (Fast Castling rules, like in Wide Chess; FIDE pawn rules) [edit: I now don't like this CV idea much; elephants seem awkward in the setup and Archbishops might prove too active {or the opposite, if one is left at home beside a castled K}. edit2: maybe a bit too harsh on this idea.]:

Note that replacing an Archbishop on each player's Q-side with a Chancellor in the setup gets to an earlier CV invention idea of mine ('Capa-Spiel').
