Capablanca Chess is the usual name given to chess on a 10x8 board, with two extra super pieces: the Archbishop (B+N) and Chancellor (R+N). There are actually several variants (most importantly Gothic Chess and Bird's Chess) that have the same characteristics. The only difference between them is the starting position.
