Looks like an interesting game, although I am not sure it qualifies as a chess variant. Could you explain the rules? They are not on a pubicly accessible website, in so far I could find.
[Edit] Oh, I found a description in a PDF file on Google Drive. Some things are not yet clear to me, though:
It says the Pawn only moves one step. But is this only forward, or can it also move backward, when going to an empty square?
It says the win is by taking or turning all enemy Castles. But Castles can also be destroyed by their owner, through splitting them up. Which is neither taking nor turning.) Is it illegal to split up your last Castle?
What if I capture my opponent's last Castle by splitting up my own last Castle? Is this allowed? And if not, who would be at fault? Is it more forbidden to split up the last Castle, or more forbidden to move into its capture range?
Does a promotion reset the 50-move counter?
Does combining friendly pieces count as a turnover, for resetting the 50-move count?
