@Libavius interesting, so this was already made up by Pal Benko and he called it Pre-Chess.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chess_variants#Different_starting_position
My idea just adds a) and b) to Pre-Chess.
I like Pals idea to enforce the placement of bishops on squares of different colors, because the good/bad bishop problem stays. I thought about that but found no elegant solution, but Pals idea solves this.
