The more I play games with multiple powerful pieces, the more fond of Shatranj I become! Getting back to this particular variant, I dislike the idea of castling with an a-file or p-file rook. Free castling with the 'near rooks' will still allow the King to move up to 4 squares.

A search for *Pairwise* on the Game Courier Game Logs will turn up my two games of 'Pairwise Drop Chess' from 2004 - the 'free castling with the two nearest rooks' rule is given in the comments below each game.
