Stone's Chess
Stone's Chess is a variation of 8x10 Chess created by Rhett Applestone January 2023. It was inspired by the layout of Capablanca's Chess and the double Archbishops of Janus Chess.
Setup
The Initial setup: ( Rook, Knight, Archbishop, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Archbishop, Knight, Rook )
Pieces
Stone's Chess has the same pieces and setup as normal chess with the addition of two Archbishops 
which can move as a Knight or Bishop, and two pawns on each side.
Rules
Normal Chess rules apply including three repititions of position/50 move draw.
Stone's chess differs in three ways:
When White castles 0-0, the King ends on I1. When White castles 0-0-0, the King ends on C1.
When Black castles 0-0, the King ends on I8. When Black castles 0-0-0, the King ends on C8.
A pawn may promote to a Rook, Knight, Archbishop, Bishop, or Queen
