I do my best as "historian" for chess variants :=) Although sometimes it's discouraging to see how people care.

In this case, D Paulowich proposed a CV with 2 Chancellors per side, whereas CCC has 1 Chancellor and 1 Archbishop, so it is not the same game. Anyway, Vujacic honestly does not pretend to have created the most original CV.

The idea of preserving the relative setup of standard chess is also at the roots of Shako, https://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/shako.html invented more than 30 years ago. And probably in other CVs too.
