The king is the most important piece in chess: if it is captured, the game is over. What if a different piece has this role? The king becomes just another piece.
This is inspired by capped pawn handicap. In order to mark which, say, knight is the important piece, we may place a cap on it.
Should castling be modified so the important piece is moved to safety instead of the king? What if the important piece is a rook?
Another way to do castling, also applicable to Chess 960 is to always castle with the piece on the a or h files. It might alter the parity of the bishops.
