I have long thought that the restriction of having bishops on opposite color squares is unnecessary. Why not let that be a strategic decision for each player? Maybe White will attempt to control squares of one color by placing both bishops on that color. Maybe Black will be content to balance the control of the bishops? Similarly, why restrict the King to be between the rooks? Maybe let each player 'castle in advance' by tucking the K away in a corner.
