Is 'No Castling Allowed' Chess played on any CV site[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

I thought 'No Castling Chess' might seriously qualify as a 'Modest Variant' (the link for that on the Topics Index Page is broken, by the way). There are Pages for those. Anyway, when a world chess champion makes a chess variant [attempt], we have pictures and well-done Pages for their games, in the case of Fischer Random and Capablanca Chess.

For a Modest variant, No Castling Chess also has an interesting story behind it, judging by the wiki I gave.

I'm not sure who should judge if something qualifies as a CV, for this CVP site at least. It belongs to Fergus, so maybe he should be the final arbiter(?). In the case of my Throne Chess, there is only one difference from chess, yet it was published on CVP, for example.

One other issue may be that Kramnik, unlike Fischer or Capablanca, may object to our using his photo, if we do. It would be a similar story in the case of Seirawan Chess, perhaps.
