  • Zombies. Like, in stories, zombies seek shelter in the morning. So, why not have a "timer" for zombies? So that for a certain period of time zombies are active and another period of time they just disappear?

You can use a check-clock with an "inactive" zombie with only 2 legal squares, one of which checks the "active" zombie. Once the "active" zombie is checkmated (runs out of lives), the "active" zombie can't move anymore.

2 is fine imo and should be added, but the others are not good and half can already be done. However the suggestion with >4 players is very unrealistic lobby wise, only practical use is to make 4p/3p but with bots

What should happen is for crazytomic to only have the piece captured. Then it would be cool.

A colourblind piece is a piece that always stays on the same coloured square. Bishop is an example. Other colourblind pieces are Dababba/Rider, Alfil/Rider, Camel/Rider, and Alibaba/Rider.

1. XXL Chess is not played. So will bigger board sizes.

2. Not terrible, but there are workabouts (Chak and Acheron).

3. See 1.

4. Already possible.

5. i don't think it's needed.

6. Take #18. Many terms shouldn't be taken literally. A red quark isn't red. A peanut is niether a pea nor a nut.

You know what us, experienced people want? Lances, Dragon knights, and Dragon Kings. Maybe 1 new gamerule but we want pieces, not these stuff. Also a 5th player to act as bots or bounty pieces. Maybe even a player for a potential 5P Variant!

Not so much the extra pieces, though a dabbaba+ferz and alfil+wazir would be cool. Main thing I want is the 5th bot player.

The moment the 5th bot player comes I can finally make a good 4pc variant

I would prefer if the game editor interface on mobile was user-friendly (instead of blind FEN4 editing)
