Russian Chess. Pieces are not removed when captured, but stacked. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

My own opinion is as follows:
Since it is the topmost man that determines who the stack belongs to
and how it moves, you shouldn't be able to castle with a Rook that's
inside a stack.
You should, however, regain the option of doing so if the Rook is uncaptured without having been moved out of the corner.
Likewise, a Pawn captured and released before having moved should be able to make a double move.
