Could we add Kung Fu chess to variants? There's a website called "kfchess.com" that has a chess variant where you play normal chess except that it is without turns. This means that you can move several pieces at the same time without waiting for the opponent to do their move. Also, when you've moved a piece in Kung Fu Chess, you can't move it again for a few seconds. You can't win using checkmate in this variant, but you have to capture the opponent king in order to win.  I'm just wondering if chess.com needs something like a copyright from the "kfchess.com" website to have Kung Fu Chess as a variant in Chess.com/variants.

 1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10 Timecontrol 45 sec Gamerules Stalemate Wins Promotion Ferz, Xiangqi Horse, Wazir on the 9th rank Note Inspired by Minihouse, made by @MrKheese. I thought Minihouse was hard to win so I made this. It still has the same strategies as Minihouse, as one move is all it takes to lose the game. 45 seconds will make it more fast-paced. Like the regular Minihouse, it has so many tricks, tips and traps that people fall for. According to @Coolwind7, the computer can go through all possible moves quickly, if the opponent plays horribly, then one player can get advantage up to +20-30. I have done about 30 testing games with exactly 10 different players. Hope you like it, and I hope @bsrti likes it because he is the best minihouse player and @MrKheese because he made the original!

I am here to suggest new gamerules, and refresh the recent forums that solely focused on new pieces. 1. Half crazyhouse. What this is that if 2 of the same pieces are captured, one can be placed back on the board. This will be good for those variants that are too little without crazyhouse, and too much with it. 2. Double move capture. Minor one, letting pawns capture on initial double moves. 3. Piece Merging. If you capture your own pieces (you cannot if the effect is redundant, pawns cannot be captured this way), the combined piece share the movement of the 2 pieces combined. you may or may not be able to seperate them. 4. Expansion of Spell Chess. We need the trap spell (Invisible effect, if any piece steps on the plate it was set up on it instantly turns gray) and the immortal spell. which can make a piece immortal for a set amount of turns (preferrably 1~3) 5. This one if somethere in between a gamerule and a piece, but it's like this. in a VERY obscure spot of a board, set up a piece generator. What this does is it gives you a predetermined oiece in your crazyhouse army, where you can out it on your back rank.  6. Double Threats. To capture a piece, it must be threatened by 2 or more pieces. Checkmate's still the same I will add good ideas into this forum These are suggestions, please dont lock this forum

Gamerules: Atomic, Crazyhouse, KoTH, Play for Mate, 14th=N Goal: Red's royal chancellor needs to reach the hill, but there is a cluster of pieces blocking its way. Figure out how to open Yellow's grasshopper to explode the cluster and allow Red to run to the hill. You must also clear the Yellow ferzes directly in front of the chancellor. Keep in mind that Blue is slowly stepping toward checkmating Yellow before the grasshopper is freed, so if you are too slow, you will be unable to get to the hill. Even if you do manage to remove the cluster of pieces blocking the hill, Blue will attempt to stop you with his own pieces once Yellow is checkmated.

It's like King Of The Hill but all the pieces do look like Checkers.

We have forums for positions but not new piece ideas. Use this to upload any ideas for new pieces you have. CGAs please pin I recently made a forum with suggestions for new pieces and here are some really interesting ones. By others and myself.Here they are:Checkers: Just a checkers piece but no forced capture. Cannot move again on captures but also moves vertically like pawn[1]Omni pawn: Moves like a wazir and captures like a ferz[1]Star: Combines King and Alibaba[3]Stomper: Moves like a xiangqi horse but can capture orthogonal pieces on its way[5]Sniper: Moves 3 squares in any direction but does not move if it captures[9]Watchtower(: Combines rook and ferz[7]Dragon: Moves like queen but captures like a king[7]Peasant: Dabbaba that can only move forwards and backwards, promotes to alibaba[2]Emperor: Moves like amazon but does not move when it captures.[15]Box: King+Alibaba+knight[7]Wildabeast rider: camel rider + knight rider [10]Royal Bishop: king + bishop [5]Desert queen: Camel + queen [12] Border Patrol:(alibabba + knight) [5] Circle-Knight (knight + dabbaba) [4] Arrow-Knight (knight + alfil) [4]Shield (can move anywhere, but cannot capture) [5]

Chess, but each turn you roll the dice1 = Lose all pieces (Except the king) For 3 turns 2 = All of your pieces (Except the king) turn into pawns for 5 turns 3 = Your Rooks, Knights, Bishops, and Queens get frozen for 3 turns (Be careful, you can stalemate yourself!) 4 = All of your pieces (Except the king) turn into knights for 5 turns 5 = Your opponent gains a random piece 6 = Half your pieces are gone 7 = 25% Chance you gain a piece, 75% Chance you lose a piece 8 = A random piece turns into a pawn 9 = Roll again 10 = Nothing 11 = One of your pawns turn into a knight 12 = One of your pawns turn into a bishop 13 = Your opponent loses a pawn 14 = Gain a random piece 15 = Capture a piece without your pieces getting captured back for 1 turn (If you can capture a piece) 16 = Your opponent loses a rook 17 = Gain 2 random pieces 18 = Get 3 moves (Unless there is check) 19 = You gain a random piece that delivers check (You can't move the checking piece) 20 = Dream position Win by capturing the king or checkmate!

If you did a move with a piece, your next turn you can’t move that piece, it’s “frozen”. Also frozen pieces cannot be eaten.

We all know the popular game "Bedwars" from Minecraft, but what if it was in chess? Yep, I made Bedwars in Chess.com. Bedwars Rules - Same as 4PC chess, but you have a royal soldier. You must capture the royal soldier to eliminate a player. You have 2 jobs in this game — Defending and attacking. You must defend your royal soldier while also attacking the other players' royal soldier. The actual variant has the royal piece positions updated. Sorry the image won't show up. There's a minor bug that won't let me add images

There are 4 pieces in the center(one is the royal) that both sides have to defeat by working together before they can capture or check or checkmate.This is an example. Also, this is a concept, not a variant, so don't spam the gif.

My new game is this: https://www.chess.com/variants/custom
This article was made as a pure joke. Spell format will be like this. Spell Name How to Cast  Effects Freeze Spell Click on the spell, and cast it on a square you want. Freezes nearby pieces for a set amount of turns. Jump Spell Click on the spell, and cast it on a square you want. Makes that square being treated like am empty square for a set amount of turns by all sides. Alibaba riders with bricks dont work. If this was it, this forum would not be made. . . . . Spell name How to Cast Effects 805 Say 'Arkhangelsk' on a valid range of CVC members. This will instantly summon chye, or imchesspro0930 to the forum, each independant with a 50% chance. Small chance to be muted by ChessMasterGS. JToH Say anything referencing JToH in a valid range of imchesspro's wrath. Summons imchesspro0930 with an 80% chance. Amplifies to a 95% if it is bad about the game. Spell Explosion Cast the magic words: 'Explosive Magic' anywhere in BN1208's reach. This will bring up BN1208's attention in an unknown amount of time (with a 90% chance by default), but the summon has a 95% chance to fail if it is not relevant to the current discussion. There is also a 15% chance to summon 2 times, and a 2.5% chance to summon 3 times.  Repeated failed summons will temporarily disable the summon. The effects are amplified if the summon takes place during a game of any chess variant. The effects are worsened if not summoned on chess.com.   Acheron Cast along the lines of 'As the creator of Acheron...' This spell only works by imchesspro0930. This spell is weak, so do not expect much. Summons brasterze with a 20% chance. Check my new position! Post a forum about a new, dull position in this club. Summons ChessMasterGS with a 100% chance, gets muted and gets a link leading to the workshop thread. Occasionally gets the dancing pgn. Royal Pawn Say anything relating to Villagers Chess on jackityjackjack's reach. 85% chance of Jack being summoned, will leave if not relevant to Villagers Chess. All the interest Post a comment on Variant Verdict Feed. This spell may only be casted by CGA's, and will bring the attention of every single active creator of this club. HumanGPT This may only be casted by the Testing Team. Effects are x1.5'ed if casted by a CGA. In a testing game of their own variant, say: Why does this deserve acception? There is no limit to this spell, as if it's someone who has submitted a non-autodeclinable submission. Will generate a 3 paragraph essay about the variant's goods. Shrink The Board Post a position with an unnessecerily large board. 90% Chance to summon 1~2 experienced creators, tellling you to shrink the board. Please tell me for more spell ideas!
