Status: Declined

Reason: The game is quite similar to Gothic Chess and Seirawan Chess. However, this is much less varied and much less balanced than Seirawan Chess, and much less exciting than Gothic Chess. There's nothing particularly exciting or unique in the gameplay, and in addition there are balance issues.

is it not an advantage that blacks elephant is kingside, so castle (then move h-pawn) to get it out puts black's king in a safer place?

it seems like the elephant opening is actually good on the hawkside because in games like this with super powerful fairy pieces and lots of open space, you always want to get powerful pieces in the middle? it actually might be better to move the a pawn then hop he hawk out though.

This doesn’t look like an improvement on anything, it seems more like you are forcing the elephant into the game so you can say that it is like Gothic Chess and Seirawan Chess.
