David,
I completely 100% agree that the corner squares would normally change the
endgames and that this is bad.  That does not happen in this game,
however, because of the disappearing square rule.  Once a piece has moved
off one of the extra squares, that square may never be entered again.  So
they should have no effect on an endgame at all - an endgame is on a
standard 8x8 board.  In fact, most of the game is on a normal 8x8 board. 
I like this solution better than the Gustav III solution because piece
values are not affected at all and should be identical to their values on
an 8x8 board.
