Fair enough, although adding my Ecumenical Chess castling was really a suggestion for others to take up. As grand is French for big, how about using the French for castle and calling the variant with that modification Chateau Chess? To be fair, Alfred Myers did credit Kevin Scanlon (who indeed gave his own variant a distinctive name) and both credited Christian Freeling. Incidentally, note that ratings on this page apply to Alfred Myers' ideas, and possibly the debate generated, rather than to Grand Chess itself.
