I played it and won. I will show you the 8 player chess

Hello, everyone! Right now I'll present a very weird idea. I understand, that you might hate me for it, but still, please, I am just trying to create something, that will make the game more interesting - new objects, that could be useful for custom player positions, and even some variants! These new objects can be anything, that has some interesting (for most of players) mechanics. I have a few examples of what it can be (but even though, it can be anything): [WARNING! Weird ideas ahead] A "generator" object, that would spawn pieces in squares around it, like spawner in Minecraft. Pieces can "capture" (break) it, and the creation process will stop. LIGHTHOUSE (or something). It can belong to a color, for example be white or black. In fog of war, it shows some area in unknown (for me) way. Some exploding object like a bomb or something, that will cause an atomic chess explosion, when a piece captures it.

1: Custom Promotion: you can make custom promotions for non pawn variants pieces 2: Forced en passant: en passant is actually forced (you cant enable this rule if “no en passant” is enabled) 3: moves per turn: how much moves players can do in their turn (default: 1) 4: forced checkmate: if you can checkmate your oponent in your turn then you must do it 5: changing pieces: you can change the moves of pieces that already exist using Betza notation (check this: https://www.gnu.org/software/xboard/whats_new/rules/Betza.html)

make up a variant

Well, actually theres no “best” chess variant, i dont know if your favorite variant is atomic or 3 check or 4 players chess or spell chess or other variant, just play what you like

It appears cheaters are not banned when cheating in Variants? Specifically I'm talking about 3-Check, KOTH and other two-player variants. I never experienced cheating in classic chess, which is fantastic. Unfortunately it seems Variants are excluded from all the fancy AI to detect cheating.

this is the Mega Queen, i didnt actually created this piece, Its more like a fictional fairy chess piece, I would create this piece if I could. It would move like a queen, a knight, a camel, a giraffe (4,1 leaper) and like a zebra (3,2 leaper) in this image it shows how this piece would move in a 9x9 board (the black pieces represent the squares where The Mega Queen would be able to move to if the board was empty)

change my mind.

Yesterday, I posted this to this club (Variants). I didn't know i was posting that to wrong place that time. Until i... into the forum today and i realized that i just so stupid to post the "stinking" [edited by admin ;p] forum what i want to post that to Việt Nam" club. I'm so bored. I'm so sorry for everyone. Next time, i will be carefully t'o"?" upload a random forum. Trust me ok ;-;

Recently i've been pretty burnt out on chess and chess variants so i've been thinking of new gamemodes to add onto chess.com. I think a lot of you already know about hand & brain or alternating moves chess, yes? So why not make it a reality? Or what about alternating hand & brain? And no, i don't mean that you just play a blitz game with your friend and do this, but actually make it a playable gamemode against random people! You queue into a game, where 2 players tell the 2 other players what pieces to move? Let me know your thoughts on this, if you'd like it or not etc.

What if there was a variant like 960, but how the pieces move is randomized too. Ignoring auto determined start positions of course (like stalemate or checkmate start positions). First a piece could be chosen as an advancing, sliding, or jumping piece (as well as if it is the royal), advancing is like the king or pawns, sliding is like the bishop, rook and queen, and jumping is like the knight. Advancing pieces can also get a number of special move types like promotion, castle and en passant. An advancing piece has limited range (within 7) sliding type moves. Sliding pieces will have a certain number of lines given to them (for bishops and rooks this is 4, but a queen has 8) this is a linear line across the board that the piece can move on if a square on the line gets blocked the rest of the line stops (as with bishops, rooks, and queens). Jumping pieces can jump to a square determined by a number of sidewise and diagonal moves (or rook and bishop moves) for a knight it is two up sidewise and one right sidewise, then a symmetry is decided with a number of splits and a rotation, this makes it so it can move in all of these splits symmetrically (the knight is an 8 split and 0 rotation). So, what do you think?

Custom pieces creator: making people able to create custom pieces will make variants way better, you Will be able to combine 2 or more pieces that already exist or/and drawing arrows on a board to set custom moves, you will need to add a name to the piece, a description (optional) and a icon (for the icon you can use a Png image or the icon of a piece that already exist) then you can save your custom pieces to edit them or delete or use in a variant.publishing variants: you will be able to publish your own variants to everyone be able to play.

This piece is Called “Omni Amazon” it was created by myself, is a combination of queen, knight-rider and camel-rider, i created this piece on omnichess.club and just look how much squares this piece can move in a 15x15 board (this piece can move to the blue squares)

This is another variant that I made, and it can't be played on the Chess.com Variants page (that is why I didn't post it on Custom Variants). It is a perfectly fair game, according to Fairy-Stockfish. So if you lost in this game, don't blame me or this game, blame yourself. =))) Ok. Let's begin! 1. Set up Pieces are divided into two different coloured sets. While the sets may not be literally white and black, they are always referred to as "white" and "black". The players of the sets are referred to as White and Black, respectively. Each set consists of 22 pieces: one princess, two princes, two elephants, two horsemen, two castles, two archers, two cannons, and nine soldiers. Pic 1: Initial position, the rook is the castle, and the archbishop is the archer. 2. How to play The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's Princess. White moves first, after which players alternate turns, moving one piece per turn, except for castling when two pieces are moved. A piece is moved to either an unoccupied square or one occupied by an opponent's piece, which is captured and removed from play. 2.1. Pieces' movement The Princess (note as P, for "Princess") moves and attacks 1 space diagonally. It can be put in check, checkmate, and can castle like a Chess King. The Prince (note as W, for Chinese word: 王子 (Wángzǐ)) acts like a non-royal King (also known as a Mann). The Prince cannot castle. The Elephant (note as E, for "Elephant") moves and attacks 1 to 2 points diagonally. It can hop over pieces. The Horseman (note as H, for "Horseman") acts like Chess.com General (Mann + Knight). The Castle (note as R, for "Rook", R is used to avoid confusion with Cannon) acts like a normal Rook. The Archer (note as A, for "Archer") moves like a Knight but captures like a Bishop. The Cannon (note as C, for "Cannon") acts like a Xiangqi Cannon. The Soldier (note as S, for "Soldier") moves and attacks 1 space forward or 1 space sideways. 2.2. Castling Once per game, each Princess can make a move known as castling. Castling consists of moving the Princess two squares toward a Rook of the same colour on the same rank and then placing the Rook on the square that the Princess crossed. Castling is permissible if the following conditions are met: Neither the Princess nor the Rook has previously moved during the game. There are no pieces between the Princess and the Rook. The Princess is not in check and does not pass through or land on any square attacked by an enemy piece. Castling is still permitted if the rook is under attack, or if the rook crosses an attacked square. 2.3. Promotion There's no promotion in this game.

Using chess.com website to play variants is really hard for mobile users, its because you cant change The color of The pieces you want to place and also theres some touchscreen issues, theres Why chess.com should release variants on The mobile app

Hello everyone and thank you very much for your patience and understanding.
