Chess on a really long board

Rules: This is a variant that I created. The rules are very similar to regular chess, except a player wins by checkmating either king. A king can only castle on his side of the board. For example, the king on m1 can only castle with the rook on i1. I believe this is an original variant since the pieces start on ranks, not files. 

Participation: First two players who sign-up get to play. Signing up is as simple as saying "sign-up" or "join."

In this position, the ranks go from 1-8 and the files go from a-z

No, the notation for ranks and files are the same, you are just reversing the names.

Neat! can I join. . .and if so, how do you play it?

@ObamaFriedChicken is white and @DukeofHelsinki is black. Time control is 3 days per move. After 3 days, a timeout warning can be called. After a timeout warning, a player has 24 hours to respond. Players who make a timeout warning too early risk losing.@ObamaFriedChicken's turn

time warning to @ObamaFriedChicken

Yes, since @ObamaFriedChicken was unable to play, it only makes sense to play the third person to sign up, @TheGMUltraplayerClub. I will reverse roles with @DukeofHelsinki being white against the @GMUltraplayerClub (black). The game starts now.

DukeOfHelsinki

yes ok. q3 is my move.
