Regarding Ralph Peters comment - The King & Queen most definitely start the
game on the wrong cells. The En Passant rule though is something that must
be decided by the players/society of a variant.A variant is just that, a
variant, how close or how far it is to ortho chess, is upto its creator.
En Passant was only brought in to ortho chess to cover up its main flaw.
Many variants opt to drop this rule. Your point is still a good one
though, as circular chess is supposed to be simply chess on a circular
board, therefore for that reason it should include En Passant.

Personally, I like the game its got history and it has its own adherants
today. I have a circular board, and play the game slightly differently.
You only have to play by CCS rules if you are playing in their
tournaments!
