Exactly the solution to the Camel problem I independently adopted for my unpublished Colorful Osmosis Chess. Camel Decimal Chess should be a good game.

@ Jean-Louis Cazaux:

Hi J-L. On this CVP site, there is an almost identical precedent for this variant of yours in the form of Wildebeest Decimal Chess:

True. I had forgotten about this one. I will mention it in the text. W.D.Chess has some differences though, one is obviously the Wildebeest as extra piece. There is also a free castling rule, and stalemating is a victory. C.D.Chess is more regular relatively to std chess.

This could be the most conservative decimal chess variant. A pair of camels is the most natural piece addition for chess. If chess players want a bigger game that doesn't change too much, here it is. The only potential weakness is keeping the same castling rule from the smaller game, which leaves the king relatively centralized on the decimal board.

The interactive diagram does not appear to show castling moves.

The Interactive Diagram shows the castling move but with the Knight.

The editor H. G. Muller has revised this page.

I fixed that. It had KisjO2 for the King move. But the j is only needed if castling is not with the outermost piece on the King rank. The Diagram is smart enough to know that you cannot castle with an empty square (or through a hole). So KisO2 would have sufficed here.
