I HAVE A NEW VARIANT: Unicorns, Yeehawers, and Horses.

So it goes like this: It's normal chess. But with a twist. On the 3rd rank, your pawn promotes to a Unicorn (it's a colorful pink knight with a horn). They can go any direction, they can jump over pieces, they can take pieces, everything except going in an L-shape like a knight (simply because that is too common). They can also promote to a Yeehawer in the same rank. A Yeehawer is just a brown cowboy hat. They can move one square around them, just like the king. They can't jump over pieces, they can take pieces to promote to a Horse. A Horse can move just like a rook. The Horse can jump over pieces. That's it! I just need to know where I can make it

Sadly, the staff probably won't code three new pieces, and similar ones have already been suggested. Lastly, colors for pieces can't be chosen.

Might be slightly confusing to have a piece called “Horse” that moves like a rook

i liked how they could all jump

nice idea

Avatar of austinbo2005

the thing is, nobody would really bother to promote to a yeehawer because it would be less powerful than a unicorn

They can do it only if they need it

Unfortunately you can't here because chess.com's editor is more 'make fairy custom position!' than 'code it yourself'

you could try other websites or program the thing yourself
