I still have a guard on i8, that shouldn't be there.

I know, I accidentally put a guard there.

I am new to this variant, because of this I will probably make some mistakes in setting up the board.

It's not a problem, obviously you need to know though. I use my own board for analysis so it won't cause me problems, but it could cause you some if you think they're on the correct square.

As long as you point out the mistakes, I should be able to play without any issues.
