I wonder if someone considers making a Mini-Rococo (I can't think of a better name,) which uses the standard chess board and pieces (without flipping the rook) ?

I would propose this setup :
 
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+  
8  |\\\|\b\|\n\|\k\|\q\|\n\|\r\|\\\|
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+  
7  |\\\|:p:| p |:p:| p |:p:| p |\\\|
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 
6  |\\\|   |:::|   |:::|   |:::|\\\|
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
5  |\\\|:::|   |:::|   |:::|   |\\\|
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
4  |\\\|   |:::|   |:::|   |:::|\\\|
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
3  |\\\|:::|   |:::|   |:::|   |\\\|
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
2  |\\\| P |:P:| P |:P:| P |:P:|\\\|
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
1  |\\\|\R\|\N\|\Q\|\K\|\N\|\B\|\\\|
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
     a   b   c   d   e   f   g   h    

The edge squares are marked with \\\ . Don't mind the checkering. 

P's are Canon pawns, they promote on the 7th or the 8th rank.

K is King.

Q is Pushme-Pullyu

R is Immobilizer

N is Long-Leaper

B is swapper (or Chameleon, but i hate this piece.)



What do you think ?
