'DEF,LargeCV': Five 'Excellent's cannot be reversed to average, so Not Rated. Two problems are solved for Capablanca-played Double Chess(192 sqs.): no more Pawn 1,2,3,4 because no longer that 1917 Chess' twelve ranks; second, one King instead of two, but the rule is the same, to check one King. Recommended to admire not to play, as hey that is the usual goal in this artwork. Definite improvement over what Capablanca toyed around with. Ralph Betza uses the two-King back rank in some 'Chess On a Really Big Board' set-ups in 1996, so this one King may be new for the same popular 16 files. However, Pritchard 'ECV' has some entry like this between the 1917 one and Betza's not worth looking up.
