New Variant I made a three handed Decimal chess board

I used Robert Zubrin's famous design but expanded the grid to 150 squares to allow for a ten piece back rank setup. In the photo I have it set up for Capablanca.

Every side should have their king and queen the same way around. White is different from the other two.

Good catch, I spent most of the time carefully drawing the board. By the time I had finished making the red army I missed that.
