Sorry about that, something went wrong with the Schizopgrenic link, and I missed out Thinktank altogether. The list should have been:
Asymmetric/Biform - all pieces are divergent in this one, and they do not even include the Stewardess and Contrastewardess, under any names. For some reason I could not find it in the index either name, but only as a link from the next.
Divergent - at least includes the Stewardess and Contrastewardess, but again no standard back-rank pieces.
Exotic - the only page starting with Exotic that I could find, and I was looking for something far less amorphous.
Schizophrenic - did not appear to have any relevant pieces.
Thinktank, implemented as Sniper Chess - again no standard back-rank pieces.

What I was looking for was a variant in which the middle two Pawns start on the third rank as either the Stewardesses or the Contrastewardesses - I cannot remember which - are behind them, while the other pair are on the back rank, with their Pawns in the usual place.
