Michael L.'s recent variant Latte Chess introduced - as far as I know - the concept of a King Castling with more than one Rook on the same side of it. I would be interested to know what others think about this idea and whether it would be worth extending to other variants. There have been a few games with multiple Rooks, or at least pieces whose main move is the Rook move, some way each side of the King - so not including the Queen so often adjacent to it. Such games range from the historic variant Duke of Rutland's Chess to my own Nearlydouble Chess, and it is slightly surprising that no-one has thought of Double Castling before - unless I have somehow overlooked it. If it gets a good response I might apply it to Nearlydouble - and expand on how Castling would be notated in that variant while I am at it.
