Conservative Capablanca Chess

Let me be straightforward from the very start guys. There are many chess variations on the board with 80 squares (10 files, 8 ranks) developed directly from the heritage of Carrera, Bird, and Capablanca, and many of them are really great, not just Capablanca's or Trice's. So which of these variations should we play? All of them? Only Capablanca's? Only Trice's? For me as a big fan of Fischer Random Chess, it was easy to solve this problem and choose. In my humble opinion, Reinhard Scharnagl's Capablanca Random Chess (CRC) is absolutely the best one, but I also love and play Trice's, Capablanca', Bird's, Embassy, and Carrera chess. You can also enjoy playing all of them at PyChess.org However, not all people like random chess variants like I do, and due to a large number of variations on 80 squares similar to Capablanca's chess, they never became quite popular among people who prefer good old standard chess. I believe that one of the reasons for this is that the positions of traditional pieces are for a taste of conservative chess players, too strange in all existing Capablanca derivatives, and people who love standard chess cannot rely on their knowledge of opening theory. This is exactly why I created a new version of Capablanca chess, or rather just an initial setup, which is much more familiar and friendly for conservative players. Hence the name of this variation - Conservative Capablanca Chess (CCC or 3C).
