I just want to add here that the rules for IAGO Chess are up on the web:
http://abstractgamers.org/wiki/iago-chess

You could definitely do a V-Class (or X-Class to start) version of IAGO
Chess using a 10x10 or a 12x12 board, with all the multiple short range
pieces, and then use gating and drop, or just one, or limit drop to the
start of the game to certain square, and then roll in other possible
pieces.  Shoot, if you don't want to do any drops or gating in your
variant, don't.  Just turn off these options in the B-Class rules.  You
can even change how they work if you like.  Gating and drops are suggested
though.

The B-Class (Basic) and C-Class (Classic) versions start with an 8x8
board, and just the Capablanca pieces, for convention purposes, and
ability to have readily available equipment.  This isn't to say that IAGO
Chess is just limited there.  It is just, we need to do something to at
least get Capablanca pieces available for people to be able to acquire and
use.
