How far is Rococo removed from C-Carrera's(10x10 version)? (1) Drop border
square distincion of Rococo. (2) Add paired Rooks. (3) Add two Pawns and

Change Swapper and Withdrawer to Knights. (7) Change Chameleon to Champion(RN). (8) Change Advancer to Centaur(BN). (9) Add en passant appropriate for 10x10, castling.
