Most outsiders would not know Guard and Equerry, having myself to click a few times to sort them out. Matter of particular array is relatively trivial compared to specific piece mix, since any initial position can be randomized. Fergus Duniho correctly points this assortment of pieces goes back 500 yrs.(Regina Rabiosa's debut), so hardly original. The form of castling is used also in Falcon Chess since 1995, and we still weigh whether King's moving liberally one or more would be more effective. Any other Rook arrival square than over and adjacent seems more like two moves.
