So the set of pieces you can use is eight pawns, one queen, one kind, two bishops, two knights, and two rooks?
Can the bishops be placed in squares of the same colour?
Yes. Put a piece anywhere you want. And there is no “en passant”, no “promotion” and no “castling” and no two step pawn move. If anything of these would matter anyhow.
Promotion definitely would matter.
Yes. They can be placed anywhere. Pawns on the first or the last line, too.
