Normal chess is way to hard to play well. Why are you trying to make it worse?

It's called "minding your own business", indeed very hard.

This is the final game in the Big Dog #2 Tournament between @thegreatauk (White) and @Martin0 (Black).
This game will follow the correspondence rules posted here.
Time Control: 3 days/move
24 Hour Timeout Warnings: Maximum 3. Refreshes every 40th move
Vacation Time: 14 days. Refreshes every 40th move.
Rated: This is a rated game.
Setup: See image below
Note the position of Black's king and queen are switched compared to classical chess. This is so the guard and witch are equal distance to each player's king and queen.
Pieces:
Guard (G) - Moves and captures like a king.
Witch (W) - The rules for the witch can be found here.
Castling:
The rules of castling are similar as in classical chess. However, with the board 10 squares wide, the king travels three squares rather than two. The rook finishes adjacent to the king. All squares between the king and rook must be unoccupied, with the exception of transparent pieces.
Promotion: Pawns can promote to guard and witch in addition to queen, rook, bishop or knight. Promotions are unlimited (not restricted to pieces that have been captured).
Other rules of this game are identical with rules of classical chess.
Good luck!
