An interesting setup
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.
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.

Ok, fair enough. Perhaps realigne the pieces a bit then.
When I look at SF, it gives these line with an eval of -3
How deep did you let it analyse?

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....
