I have an Idea for a variant- Paralysis

Atomic and spell Chess are two of my favourite chess variants, hence I have come up with a way to merge them.

Paralysed pieces- Whenever a capture occurs, a 3 by 3 grid with the captured square as centre freezes. They remain frozen for 1 whole move, eg: If white captures, black's turn pieces are frozen and next white turn also frozen

Let me know if I can make any modifications to this, for instance: Kings/Pawns can't be frozen or you can jump over frozen pieces, etc

Also, why are there no XXL or 4PC versions of most other variants like Spell or atomic? I understand that there is 4PC Anti-chess but why not others too?

How do I actually make my Paralysis variant and give it for testing?

Fun fact: Playing Scandinavian or Pirc defense in spell chess leads to forced mate in 4

An awesome idea which one exception how can you make it into a four player game?

This actually already exists

Yup! It's called Explosive Magic

What? Where?

Here

4 Player spell chess doesn’t work – I’ve tried. The reason being is scope: spells can be cast anywhere on the board, so a player can affect the outcome of a tradeoff occurring on the opposite side of the board without actually having a piece there. This results in massive amounts of teaming, which isn’t bannable since it’s “playing the game.”

4 Player atomic is very difficult (I've also tried) due to the sharp nature and point system, therefore being very difficult to balance out.

this is a crazy house tournaments, it will Start on , here is the link: https://www.chess.com/play/tournament/5816149

I know, but this is different. There, you cast spells in Atomic, but here, captures trigger spells but in an atomic-like manner. Fusion of same 2 variants but totally different rules.

Also, how do I actually create this variant?

One final question, I understand how it is unfeasible to play 4PC+Other variant but why not XXL+ Variant? I bet an Amazon with jump is lethal. Also, Can someone give me a list of fantasy pieces and how they move? I get confused every game

Oh, I suppose we misunderstood lol. It is currently impossible, as far as my knowledge goes, to make atomic captures give spells. However, creators might figure out a way to exploit the PGN to do that.

By XXL + Variant, do you mean "make a larger version of a variant"? If that's what you mean, all you have to do it make the board larger and do some patching that comes from changing board size.

And for confusion of pieces, here's a blog made by someone else: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/the-fairy-pieces-introduction

ok i have an idea which is probably really dumb but anywho slingshot chess so basically your pieces are like a stone in a slingshot so you have to pull back on them with the right pressure and in the right direction and release and your piece will land where you sent it if you pulled too hard youll end up going somewhere you didnt want to and tecnically i think itll be cool if your horse could end up being shot like a rook without it being illegal and the pawns are able to go like a bishop across the board but you still eat pieces the usual way like pawn eats diagonally. to eat a piece you have to knock their piece down. im sure this idea has a lot of flaws but yall can figure out something thatll work

I feel like this is too much of technical skill rather than actual strategy, which chess is about lol

I do not think we can do that, it is impossible, and the game may crash

for Sivats Srihari idea

i have a idea. the tiniest chess variant with a 2*2 board, crazyhouse, 3 white 1point queens on a1, b2 and in the white bank and 3 black 1point queens on a2, b1 and in the black bank. it names Minimal chess

Ok thats actually a good idea hydis

Infinite Chess with infinite Dimention

What do you mean pbqeir in infinite chess infinite demention
