What would happen is that you would have a variant and chess would remain as it was.

Let's play chess on an infinite board.  Kinda tough to checkmate.  So Deep ??

I think players will have to castle manually because it is hard for rooks to be active and even if minor pieces and the queen are developed the king will block the e-file for the rooks.
