In that line, what if black plays 10... Qb5?

My apologies in advance. I am not trying to upstage you, but it seems this is a place for strange variants...

 

I call it Castle Chess...

 

 

Anyone up for a game ?

I might have to convert one of black's queens to a rook, then.

 

Or, if the safe path is very narrow for both sides, it may be this just doesn't work.

Avatar of MGleason

That looks more workable.

@MGleason, make it a knight and remove all doubt....

That might not be enough extra material to give black compensation for the exposed king.

 

With the rook, analysing to depth 37, Stockfish evaluates it as +0.75 for white, not that much more uneven than the standard starting position.  I might go with that.

You might also toss in an extra pawn or two for black.

Ok, fair enough. Perhaps realigne the pieces a bit then.

resuming is the word I think you were looking for, but I enjoy adding words to my vocabulary. Un-quitting, would have 2 t's. "Littler" is one of my favorites, it makes my wife smile....Women tend to find littler things cute....
