Within the last few months I finally got around to issuing 2 open invitations each to play this CV of mine and my (plainer) SOHO Chess, on Game Courier. Two different persons accepted one invite of just one CV or the other. The SOHO Chess game finished some time back.
Just my initial feeling, but I worry a bit that for Wide SOHO Chess (the present CV), the wizards might need to be monitored more carefully by the players, and the archbishops might be awkward for some time in the opening stage of a game (their presence in the setup also means getting castled, if desired, can take longer). This CV is maybe a future candidate for a rules enforcing preset.
