[uajvqrbp] Chess derby

A ring of boards set up as if for a simultaneous exhibition, but there are only two players, playing each other simultaneously on the multiple boards.  Perhaps Chess960 to prevent all the games from being identical.  The players start on opposite sides of the ring (so the ring is divided with white on the outer edge of one half and on the inner edge of the other half).

Something interesting happens if one of the players makes up the half lap initial gap, but not sure what that should be.  Most radically, pass the opponent and get to make two moves in a row.  Or a timer runs while stalled which figures into the final result.

Excitement of passing inspired by Roller derby.
