oh, thank you!

he rules are: 

1) the chess pieces can go around the corners of the world to the other side



white to move, they play bishop to h3
this is possible because it's going two squares backward on the same diagonal

it was just an idea
2) the chess pieces are arranged just as normal as a real chessboard, but one rank upwards. 

So the bishops are on f7, knights on g7 etc. (for black)

This is done to prevent checks because the knights on g1 and g8 will have vision on the e1 and e8 squares.

3) 

no around the world moves until move 10

 

i know this probably wont be added or liked by anyone, but it was just an idea

I can't figure out how to customize the board size to make Minichess Variants such as Microchess, Attack Chess, or Diana Chess. It seems the only board sizes available are 8x8, 14x14, 10x8, 12x8, and the 4-player board.

Any idea how to get a 5x5 or 6x6 board?

I’m excited to see new variants in the future

New variant suggetion(not finished yet): RPG chess: This variant allow pieces to gain xp without being captured after it captured a piece, you can use xp to upgrade health or attack speed or kind of movement, depending on the used portion of the xp and value of the piece.

The xp system: example: as you can see the queen in d5 could have level up, but the level up costs a move, and thats where the knight in c3 was important, the queen cannot level up anymore since it moved during the level up stage.

Another variant: Planet board variant: Pieces can loop at any wall, pawns moves differentily and have different promotion area. Whites promotion: f7 g7 f6 g6. Blacks promotion: b2 b3 c2 c3. I dont know how the pawns would move yet

How does the loop work: Example the rook in a1 can go to g1

I suggest knight relay chess: knights cant be taken check or take anything.

anything that is protected by a knight can make a normal move or move like a knight.

What about about this one?

At first I was like, wait, can´t white promote queens first? Well, yes. The thing is, the players have such a strong and solid defense that even going all-greedy and making 3 queens right in the opening (like in some 4-players ffa games) won´t do any good compared to properly activating and coordinating the "humble" pieces.

Nice one. Beautiful. The natural motion for the pawns is straight outwards. For instance, the pawn on a2 can go  to h2, the pawn on f8 can go to f1, and so on.

The pawn captures moves are the black bishops and the non-capture moves are the knights, is that how you described the pawn moves? I didnt understood it very well.
