Description: Chaturango is a chess variant that is like ancient and other variants in one! Kings, Queens, 1-point Queens, Amazons, and chancellors are in the back. (primary) Secondary pieces are in 2nd row, and tertiary pieces, Pawns and other Pawns, are in front, the reason why there are 2 normal Pawns is because if you move one of them up in the 4th rank, it promotes to a Ferz, Sailboat, Camel rider, Knight rider, Chancellor, Wildebeest, or Alibaba rider. The rules are that it is a torpedo and capture the king variant. It also is not rated.

Hello!
Thank you for making your first variant!
This variant has the following issues:
1. It has a lot of knight hybrids which don't add anything unique to normal chess.
2. Because the pieces are seemingly randomly placed, there are some first move captures and overall it is difficult to find a square to not hang your piece.
3. The torpedo gamerule is not useful because pawns promote on the 4th rank (very closley to their base rank) and the promotions are also questionable with the chancellor being by far the strongest one.
For theese reasons, we are declining this variant. We are looking forward to see your other ideas and revision!
