Extended Chess

Is some body interested in playing Extended Chess games? Extended Chess games are, basically, Chess960/460 games with the option to play them in Alice chess variant. Alice chess is played on two standard 8x8 checkered boards and the usual set of 32 pieces. Once Chess960 game (included standard position) can be played in three ways: on one board, on two boards in Alice I mode (all pieces are placed on board A so board B starts empty), or on two boards in Alice II mode (white pieces are placed on board A while black ones are placed on board B). So that there are 3x960=2,880 different arrangements of the pieces, spread on one or two boards, to start a game of chess. All laws of Chess hold except for the capture of the pawn 'en passant' in Alice mode.

    Extended Chess games are played via e-mail servers so far.

    There is no a server programme to play a game of Extended Chess as far as I know. Fischer random chess as well as Alice chess are separate variants at present, so extended chess games must be played via CC e-mail (Correspondence Chess via e-mail).
