I was thinking of submitting a smiilar variant myself. Just as well that I saw this page first and saved the bother.

The game resembles much to Pillar Chess (described on this site)
and >>Das trojanische Spiel<< (commercial, german game, having a link
in the german section of this site).

The site gives no explicit answer to that question. My own opinion is as follows: Since it is the topmost man that determines who the stack belongs to and how it moves, you shouldn't be able to castle with a Rook that's inside a stack. You should, however, regain the option of doing so if the Rook is uncaptured without having been moved out of the corner. Likewise, a Pawn captured and released before having moved should be able to make a double move. --ID

Thanks for clarifying.  Can you castle using a rook which has
been 'captured' but not left its original square and is now in
a friendly stack?

The King can never be within a stack. You may not capture your own King (otherwise the first thing you'd do would be to use your Queen to do so, creating a royal Queen that would be very hard to checkmate), and, as in OrthoChess, a King may not be left _en prise_ until checkmated. --ID

If the king is within a stack, can that stack cross a square that is under attack by the opponent?
