This is a sample game run by Zillions against itself at C-Class IAGO Chess.   C-Class allows players to place Chancellor, Archbishop or Queen in the Queen space before game begins.  This starts off C-Class with 9 starting configurations before the players begin the game.  In this, it is Chancellor against Chancellor.  One configuration I have seen pop up off and on is White Chancellor vs Black Archbishop start.  My take is the Archbishop provides a strong defensive configuration.  I have found running it a bunch of times that within 2-3 turns, the opening book explodes in a wide range of possibilities.

The game (jump to the end to see whether white or black wins):

Turn 1, Initial Placement
1. (Place Reserve Chancellor onto d1)
