The duck of Duck Chess has the major problem that apart from it being an unrestricted veto over the opponent‘s next move from that position, nobody likes having extraordinary illegal moves. Since both players just playing this piece where the opponent can’t move anyway defeats the point of its existence, I suggest a variant where it works in reverse, not blocking the square where it stands and permitting for the opponent‘s next move, moves which the pieces cannot normally make according to the file where it stands: a and h files: Pawn -> WfcF Knight -> NW Bishop -> Dragon Horse Rook -> RD Queen -> QD King -> R2F, royal b and g files: Pawn -> NmfWcfF Knight -> Wildebeest Bishop -> Archbishop Rook -> Chancellor Queen -> Amazon King -> Royal General c and f files: Pawn -> FmfW Knight -> NF Bishop -> BA Rook -> Dragon King Queen -> QA King -> B2W, royal d file: Pawn -> Commoner Knight -> General Bishop -> BAW Rook -> RDF Queen -> QAD King -> Q2, royal e file same as d file but anything is royal Is this a good variant? What changes should I make? Is it balanced? I don't really have much more to say, I'm just throwing this idea out into the void.

could you please add a square maker in variant editor? I tried to create some squares so that i can make my own variant but it turned out that the chess.com variant editor doesn't have "square adder". Would you mind adding this feature pls? Thanks a lot

I'm trying to test a 4 player variant to make it eligible for selection. However, when I open my game to players, it's very rare that 3 other players are on at the exact same time to enter my game. It's especially annoying when people join, only to leave because they've been waiting too long. Since I don't have enough chess friends to share my game with, is there a faster way to test my 4 player variant?

Opening: Eat the bounty bishops, then use them to check your opponents 9 times. I was originally gonna use checker zombies, although that made it too long and luck based (like the declined variant I made called The Cemetery) and I wanted to make a NCV. I wanna increase the number of 2P B&W NCV. If accepted, variant description is 'Eat the frozen bishops to checkmate your opponent'
