How many are interested in meeting up to play some of the submissions every
now and then?

What I like most about this variant, and what other people seem to like
about it as well, is that it has a very fast but balanced opening. Action
starts right away. When I tried to hide away the rooks what happened was
that queens came into the game a lot faster and it was a lot harder to
stop that from happening.

As it stands now there are three goals at the start of the game. Set up a
defence/offence that helps your pawns to get through, take out your
opponents pawns while still protecting your own, destroy your opponents
defence/offence.

The rooks make a very big difference on this board. I would say that the
difference between rooks and bishops are greater here then in ordinary
chess and pawns are definatly worth more.

What pros do you see in pulling the rooks back?
