I like the idea since like Grand Chess, it introduces the two new pieces of a Marshal and Cardinal.
Embassy Chess is on a 10x8 board and castling is allowed, unlike Grand Chess.
To me this would be the perfect variant since the players have to get use to:
-2 new pieces and how they move.
-10 x 8 board instead of traditional 8 x 8.
-Increase in # of central squares.
-Totally new structures. In Standard Fischer Random it’s plausible to play openings in similar nature to standard chess since the chess pieces and geometry of the board are all the same.
-Perhaps the development of new types of tactics?
-Promotion only on last rank unlike in Grand Chess which is where Embassy developed from.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated!
Cheers
