today I created the final version of one of my variants idea, I am even think about creating a website to allow people to easily play this and other of my variants (but this is more of a project for the future)

okay, thats the variant:

initial position:

and there are the pieces:

Beginner Actress: combines Queen and Xiangqi Horse, it also can move like a Wazir and then like a Knight on that same direction, value: 14, notation: A

Ship: a Rook with different appearance and name, value: 5, notation: S

Bull: Chancellor + Ferz, value: 9, notation: B

Rhino: Archbishop + Wazir, value: 8, notation: R

Pawn: the pawns on this variant combines pawn (sideways + torpedo) and soldier (chess.com variants), value: 1, notation: P

Mammoth: moves like a Alfil and then like a bishop on that same direction, value: 3, notation: M

Carriage: Wazir + Xiangqi Horse, value: 3, notation: C

Warrior: Camel + Threeleaper (3,0) Leaper, value: 3, notation: W

the King is the same as regular chess, the notation of the kings is K

Rules:

Pawn promotion: pawns promote to Rook, Carriage, Mammoth, Warrior and Cannon on the 12th Rank

Cannon: Rook + Ferz + Janggi Cannon (a Rook that must jump over a piece to move or capture), value: 8, notation: O

Stalemate: Stalemated player loses

Threefold Repetition: the player who started the repetition loses

Anti perpetual check: if you give 15 checks to your opponent in a row then your next move must not be a check, and only after making a non-check move you can give more checks to your opponent

Acting Rule: Beginner Actresses cant capture each other until the 10th move of the game, this rule no longer applies to the game if a Beginner Actress captures a piece or if one of the kings take a check even if its not the 10th move of the game

Castling: on this variant casting is different from regular chess: the king switches places (literally) with a ship, the conditions for casting are:

1: the king must no have moved before

2: the ship must not be under attack

3: the ship must not have moved before

4: there’s must be no pieces between the ship and the king

Pieces Bank:

each player have a pieces bank with 5 pieces:

2 Zebras

1 Hippo

1 Tiger

1 Fortress

Theres how the pieces from the pieces bank move:

Tiger: Bishop + Giraffe (4,1 Leaper), value: 4, Notation: T

Zebra: a 3,2 Leaper, value: 2, Notation: Z

Hippo: moves like a Zebra and then like a Alfil-Rider on that same direction, value: 4, notation: H
Fortress: Wazir + Gryphon (the gryphon moves like a Ferz and then like a Rook on that same direction), value: 8, notation: F
There’s how the pieces bank works: if theres a free square on the 1st rank, then you can choose between making a move and placing one of the pieces of your piece bank on the 1st rank (note: this is different from crazyhouse because you dont get pieces after capturing your opponents pieces)

Analysis of this variant:

1: because of the Acting rule it takes quite long to be able to trade Beginner Actresses

2: almost all tactics from regular chess can be made on this variant

3: most concepts from regular chess like pawn structure and taking control of the center dont exist on this variant because pawns have much more mobility, the board is bigger, the pawns start on the 3rd rank all pieces (except mammoths) can move on the 1st move

4: the pieces bank make this variant more fun and original

5: the only way the game can end in a draw is by 50 move rule and agreement
