Starting positions of this variant are similar to checkers (also called draughts). Capturing pieces in this variant is, however, a lot different than capturing pieces in checkers. To capture the opponent's piece you have to move your piece to the square where the opponent's piece is positioned (chess capture system). To win you have to checkmate the opponent's king (checkmating is only possible with grasshoppers). Pawns can be promoted to grasshoppers or bishops (grasshopper can attack the king and bishop is useful for defending your own king). @makadika helped me with creating this variant. This is my first variant, so please accept it.

Thank you for your attention!

Screenshot?

I don't know why, but I cna't insert screenshot

can't

Hello,

It seems your posting has not met the minimum requirements for submission, detailed in this thread. Please complete the following requirements, then respond by quoting this comment, so we'll be alerted that your position is ready for consideration:

1. Links to the testing games you played in your position - we require a minimum of 10 testing games, which cannot include any bot players, played over a span of more than 24 hours, and must include a minimum of 8 different players (no aborted, or quickly-resigned games).
2. A screenshot showing the position
3. Which gamerules apply, including promotion rank and options

How can I fix that?

Play a game at least 24 hours after your first played game, and post it. That would be about 18 hours from now

Ok, thank you.

...or 42 hours before now

What you think about this variant?

One more.

Looks good. We'll test soon.

I think bishop is useless, because when you promote grasshopper win is faster than going to defence.

I think we can get rid of these useless kings 

Yes, kings are useless, but I had to make useless kings or royal pawn.

Hello, 

We tested your position, and really liked it! There are some very complex tricks with tempo-plays and promotion tactics. The issue is that this game is a forced win for red. Even though it would be very difficult for most to find all the correct strategies to win as red, NCPs should never be a forced win. For this reason, we have decided to change the game to a WOF. You can choose what time control you want the position to be, preferably bullet. We were thinking 1|0, but it's up to you. We'll await your decision.

I think 1+0 is good time.
