In effect David Paulowich has invented or covered in his Carrera Chess comment 21.9.04 all the possible arrays by 'Carrera Random Chess' and its obvious extrapolations. CVP 'Free Castling Rule' written by Roger Cooper explains the Italian Rules prevalent before 1900. Chess Cafe's Tim Harding, recently cited in 'underpromotion' discussion, has old Kibitzer column 1998 'Bring Back Free Castling.' They like to alternate among Fischer Random, Free Castling and such as different scoring systems for Draws, in order to put life back into 64-square 'Mad Queen Chess'.
