Dear Rbbo1461, seems you are putting up double the squares and duplicating the pieces to create an innovative 64 piece board.
Well, if you can clearly demonstrate that by virtue it can increase the interest and is a not a source of undue complexity you have made a fortune.
I have a new innovative idea. There are no special pieces, nor any special moves, just double chess on a bigger board. My game is called Synergy Chess. www.synergychess.net
