Jose Raul Capablanca in his career, introduced Capablanca Chess and suggested two new pieces on the Chessboard, expanding the size of the board to 10x8 squares (a1 to j8), placing the Archbishop on the c-file and the Chancellor on the h-file.
The Chancellor was an interesting piece, which was a combination of a Rook and a Knight merged into one piece. It could move like a Rook and a Knight, both (yeah, that's ridiculous!!! ).
The Archbishop was a combo of a Bishop and a Knight. The most interesting feature about his was that it was the only piece that could deliver a mate on its own (awesome!!! ). On a standard chessboard, no piece can deliver a mate without the assistance of another piece/pawn. But imagine a White Archbishop on c3 and the Black King on a1. It's a mate!
Here is the starting position from Capablanca Chess. The interesting feature was that each side had only one Archbishop and Chancellor.
