The piece would be either be called the crowned bishop, the dragon horse, or the missionary. It would be able to move and attack like a wazir and a bishop. I think it would be useful. It would be be a slight buff to bishops and it would make for a fun addition. You could also add the same thing, but with a rook and a ferz, but that's less interesting imo.

this idea came to me just as a theorical example, while saying chess is a game that give a lot of penalty for each error, and not so much reward for great moves. so i imagined this: a crazyhouse game, where instead of having free to put the pieces that you capture, you will have free to put the pieces that you lose (so losing a piece is actually good for you most of the times). but to win the game you can only give the checkmate with a knight (or maybe just a knight move including a discovery checkmate), while every other checkmate you give with other pieces would be considered a draw game. this would force the player to elaborate very complex strategies to get a win, you can't just count on "make less errors than your opponent". or anyway it seems an interesting idea to me. it would need some limitations of repeated checks like with a queen captured by the king again and again just to force a draw, but preventing a check when putting a piece seems too much limitating, i will think a possible solution to that

Everytime you capture a piece it explodesBut it is XXL chess, and the explosion is 5×5

they are just starting positions. variants should be different game rules, not just a starting position
the prince is a man but it becomes a royal when the king is captured.
