gamemode idea: "point chess"

so basically it's like setup chess, but with fairy pieces, and you can buy from "the shop" anytime, and place the piece you bought. you can also sell your pieces.
heres an explanation

This would be better in the Variants club

How are you going to gain points and how much does everyone get?

help a litle and explai more...

wdym and how is this even going to help?

? i dont get it

The first part of your idea about the fairy pieces can already be done

the second part with the selling is a cool idea but we don’t have that yet and we probably won’t considering the fact that our devs are busy working on other things and chess.com doesn’t give enough support to variants (which they won’t admit)

Actually Danny literally said on state of chess com once that variants isn’t even on their agenda

I actually think this is cool. I can see this on Chess.com.

I know right? Chess.com doesn’t give enough support to variants. They need to.

also this idea is a really good one @blitzk

Great! "The shop" would make it 2x the fun

this sould be aded realy fast it sounds good

good idea, but I doubt it will be implemented

It's a cool idea, but the number of players on existing variants at any given time is already low.
The variant I'd like to see is hexagonal chess -- I played it on another site and it's a lot of fun. There's three colored squares (because hexagonal grids need 3 colors to avoid neighbors of the same color) and thus 3 types of bishops, so 6 bishops each. Most pieces move analogously except angles are 60-degrees instead of 90 degrees.
But that would be a lot of work for developers for probably low gain.
