Shatranj is one of the oldest forms of chess, it is over 1200 years old and originates from Persia. The pieces in shataranj look the same as normal chess pieces, but move differently. Both kings start on the d file, and both queens are on the e file. The rest of the setup is similar to normal chess. the queen can only move one space to the diagonal, and it is called a ferz the bishop can only move two squares to the diagonal, and is called a alfil the king is called a shah and moves like a normal king the rook is called a rukh and moves like a normal rook the knight is called a faras and moves like a normal knight the pawns are called piyadeh, and move like normal pawns. they cannot move two spaces on the first move and are promoted to a ferz on the 8th rank I think new pieces would need to be developed to replace the chess pieces as well, otherwise it would be confusing. This variant is similar to chaturanga, but would has a few key differences. What do you think?

1: Chess with checkers, but swap the image of the checkers with random pieces on the board 2: Normal chess, but either adding capturing like in checkers, or replace all capturing with how it is in checkers

chess

Ditto.

The blockbuster moves like a king, but it has a special ability: It can move into bricks. It also can break a brick but loses its ability.

there should be a variant of normal chess but different pieces have different abilities and you should be able to play as a zombie and the way to play is a green pawn is in the middle of the board it is an ai until it captures a king when that happens it is capturable as a zombie you have to keep that pawn alive if it captured your king and you must defeat the opponent by either infecting them or capturing there pieces I'm still working on it and the green pawn is a headcrab zombie from half life

Which Staff of the clubs "Variants" or "Custom Variants" is most likely to develop and officially add more pieces that can be put on Custom variants?  I just wanted to know, which club is more likely to officially add more pieces which can be used,to hint myself on better NCV and WOF positions.

self explainatory

For me, Dragonanga or The Golden Rain by @NyutixBrother

If I make something that aesthetically looks like an existing variant, but if it has quite different gameplay is it fine?

what do you guys think?

What you guys thing

This is the most easiest chess variant can you make it harder

but can be if it's combined. 1. Why are there much more lame forums in present than in the past? 2. 3. some fun facts loljack's profile pic is a mandelbrot, and I was very close to rendering it. sputnik might be back jack had gotten 2 draws ever in his 7000 games of villagers chess, and neither was a drawing position. Giveaway UW exists. If this club reduced to 15 most active people, no one will notice if the number's somehow the same I posted a single forum in this club long before I got into this community nvm I ran out of ideas sorry

i was wondering how to become one cuz i would like to help custom variants by testing the variants and uh yeah

Hello,this is a forum for members to put their zombie bot ideas,please don't lock unless some random person breaks the Custom Variant rules (Hopefully that does not happen).

hi I am thinking of combinigh that two. 

The player playing chooses which of his peice will get fire power up Then where ever square he lands on that square will be on fire so then any peice who touches it is dead. Though the fire will only be there if they move their peice of the square and the powerup lasts 1 turn. If think it needs any improvment please tell me what is needed to be fixed.

I have a new variant that I created and i want to try to make it a real rated variant. The "How to submit custom variants forum wasn"t very helpful so i was wondering if any of you know how to.
