Tell me what you guys think of it!
(I know everyone will bully idea 2)
My top 3 ideas for Variant Creation
the 4 pieces I need the most are the pheonix (alfil + wazir), silver general (ferz + pawn), dragon rook (rook + ferz) and dragon knight (bishop + wazir).
I do not wish for anything else. please.

Also, doesnt ferz+pawn mean that a pawn can mvoe backwards?

I know. I don't want it to have pawn property.
It is an idea that I love. I created a new character piece called WIZARD. I already wrote rules for WIZARD. I am going by memory, but basically,
1. WIZARD enters the game AFTER the 3rd move, or later and may be placed on any empty space.
2. WIZARD may only capture 2 pieces, then must be permanently removed from the game.
3. Since each player has one WIZARD, it is equal playing field, just like any game.
4. WIZARD may capture any piece on the board simply by moving to that square and capturing the piece, but WIZARD may be captured also, just not by the other WIZARD.
5. WIZARD may never occupy the 8 spaces around the opponents King. WIZARD cannot put the King in check, but it may be involved in checkmate. WIZARD does not have a line like Rook, Queen, or Bishop.
I have already played a few games with WIZARD, and it works great, but the characters obvious weakness is that is must be removed after it captures 2 pieces.
What do you think?
1. Move 2 (Or more) chess
sounds a lot like blindbox.
2.Fairy pieces but better
There are other websites where players can design their own pieces I believe with spells and other features, I think it's a mixture of deckbuilding and chess
3.Custom Spells
100% agree check this out for inspiration ![]()

as for the wizard, sounds a bit like a spell where you summon a creature that exists for 2 moves, the fact that you can't go near the king makes a lot of sense.

What's blindbox?
The most overrated SP variant ever. It's just normal KOTH but you get 2 rows of pieces and get to double-move.
a quality of life improvement I want to see is odd numbers boards. aka 13x13 11x11 9x9.
I know you can do this with walls but it would make symmetrical editing so useful when making variants that require odd boards

This already exists in the PGN.

if PGN can do it then why cant chess.com do it.
So, this is my first major forum post on this club. pretty much everyone here has a post for their ideas for variants, and I thought, "Well, why not?" So here we go-
1. Move 2 (Or more) chess
This is an idea I have had since I started playing chess, and I mentioned it in a few other articles around this club. The idea is that each player gets 2 moves per turn, and your turn ends when you check or capture a piece. This would be pretty unfeasible on a normal board, but with the right combo of bricks, pieces and board this would be a really cool idea. Actually, if you think about it, its just a tag team but better
2.Fairy pieces but better
So this would be pretty simple to implement, but I'm guessing very disastrous. The idea is that you have a piece creator, that lets you make your own custom piece with custom movements. This would probably make the community happy. The drawbacks, however, is that people will probably make ridiculous pieces that can move anywhere on the board. Also, more complex pieces will also not be able to be made (I think?)
3.Custom Spells
PLEASE! Ever since I saw Spell chess, I thought that over time, Chess.com would add more spells to the gamemode. But since then, I have been dissapointed. More spells would be such an excellent idea to the game rule, and it need not be added to the original game mode itself. Some spells would be like a trapper, which stores a piece outside the board for 1 move (Making the previously occupied square empty) or a reviver, which can bring back a piece you lost to your opponent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR- Chess but more moves per turn, custom variant piece maker and more spells are a cool idea
