Caissus missed the point. An imbalance was shown from plausible play. You can't say "Don't play those moves and there is no imbalance."

The c-pawns can be attacked since they are not defended. White to move can win in that game. And if play is "forced", like ...c6 for Black, what is the point? You mean every time I attack the c-pawn you will play ...c6 then? Doesn't that detract from the game?

Why make a new variant if every amateur will be tempted to play 1. Cc3 and then every black player is forced to play something like ...c6 as a result?

This stifles play instead of makes it better.

The Chancellor/Queen swap does not work, the game is a failure.
