@ Daniel.

The image I just gave is the same as your suggestion a month ago in this thread - I tried to quote it but somehow only got the diagram part.

I hadn't actually thought of an exact re-arrangement of the back ranks to my liking, but at least the way some of the diagonal-capable pieces of each army were pointing may not have been ideal possibly (don't know what new setup to suggest/try for sure yet, unless I think of some things that are specific).

I recall your caption for the diagram said 'Just for fun', but in the past I've dreamt up some pretty wide CV invention ideas with 8 ranks myself.

edit: @ Myself (or anyone curious): A list of the dates and places on CVP site that I've left key comments/diagrams about (28) CV invention ideas of mine, that I might make preset(s) for at some point if I stop rejecting all the CV ideas:

To the 'Diagram Testing Thread': 2023-03-06, 2023-02-01, 2023-01-31, 2023-01-17, 2020-12-31,2020-12-16, 2020-12-15, 2019-02-16

To the 'Parity Chess' preset page: 2018-11-30

To the 'Frog Chess' rules page: 2017-11-25

To the 'Courier-Spiel' rules page: 2019-09-29

Finally, to the 'Amazon Grand Chess' rules page: 2019-12-14

edit2: 2023-12-29: I now have (28) preliminary Settings Files made for all these CV ideas, which can act as presets, especially for members able to recognize fairly common fairy piece figurines, as used on CVP site's Game Courier. One way these Settings Files of mine can be found is on my Personal Information page on CVP (just explore the list, for ones that seem interesting).
