new pieces:

Assasin: moves like a queen but captures like a king

Sniper: Moves 1 space forwards or captures any piece in front of it even if there is an obstacle, changes direction every 3 turns randomly.

Warrior: moves and captures like a king, alibaba, and knight at the same time, jump always

Lookout: Reveal all squares in fog of war

more added later:

gorilla: king that can break walls and invisible walls as a capture without movement, move or capture as a move but not both, qualifies as animal

Falcon: jump 4 squares in any direction and capture, qualifies as animal

Cannon: does not move but captures anything within 4 squares of queen move without jump

animal handler: move as a king + capture any animal OR tame an animal(animal becomes your color)

Even more!!!:

Titan: queen that takes up a 2*2 space and captures by moving into a space; castling is no longer safe!

Promotionist: moves as a queen and cannot capture, only your pawns can take it and thus promote instantly, should not be an option for pawn promotions

Warrior was already made but removed by comment in another forum

These are good but some of them have already been made. For example, cannon is very similar to my idea! check out the forum https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/new-fantasy-piece-idea to see what other people have already written. (I think it is inefficient to have multiple forums on the same thing)

Also, one question, what are animals? is that a new category you are making, or am i just being a noob?

idk what an animal is either

Just a thing to keep in mind, all colored pieces should be able to move, and all pieces except pawns should capture the same way they move

What!? Outrageous! (of course it does make it a lot harder to put it into an actual chess variant game on Chess.Com)

animal is a category made for the piece animal handler and I plan on adding more pieces steadily!

The Lookout,Animal handler,titan,and Promotionist are OP

I know

Avatar of skatiskis

you shouldn't make god pieces without a board/game functionality that accommodates it. for example, the titan might work (if its movement was nerfed) on a XL chess board
