New Position Workshop / Testing Thread

That wasn't a yes/no question.

This looks suspiciously like courier chess...

https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/how-to-make-new-variants-accepted might be a helpful resource to keep in mind; I'm not criticising your variants, but I want you to know that there are certain standards for variants based heavily on other variants.

New variant:

[StartFen4 "R-0,0,0,0-0,0,0,0-0,0,0,0-0,0,0,0-0-{'dim':'','wb':false,'noCorners':true,'boxOffset':0,'zombieType''','','',''),'zombieImmune'false,false,false,false),'pawnBaseRank':2,'enPassant''','','',''),'royal''h1','a7','g14','n8'),'royal8x8''','','',''),'lives'7,7,7,7),'setupPoints'0,0,0,0),'setupComplete'false,false,false,false),'stalemated'false,false,false,false),'promotedFrom':{},'resigned'null,null,null,null),'bank''','','',''),'spells''','','','')}-X,X,yR,yN,yB,yQ,yK,yA,yQ,yB,yN,yR,X,X/X,Θ,yG,yG,X,yG,yG,yG,yG,X,yG,yG,Θ,X/bR,bG,X,X,dS,1,X,X,1,dS,X,X,gG,gR/bN,bG,X,dT,2,X,X,2,dT,X,gG,gN/bB,X,dS,2,dC,X,X,dC,2,dS,X,gB/bQ,bG,2,dC,dE,X,X,dE,dC,2,gG,gQ/bA,bG,X,X,X,X,Θ,Θ,X,X,X,X,gG,gK/bK,bG,X,X,X,X,Θ,Θ,X,X,X,X,gG,gA/bQ,bG,2,dC,dE,X,X,dE,dC,2,gG,gQ/bB,X,dS,2,dC,X,X,dC,2,dS,X,gB/bN,bG,X,dT,2,X,X,2,dT,X,gG,gN/bR,bG,X,X,dS,1,X,X,1,dS,X,X,gG,gR/X,Θ,rG,rG,X,rG,rG,rG,rG,X,rG,rG,Θ,X/X,X,rR,rN,rB,rQ,rA,rK,rQ,rB,rN,rR,X,X"]

The Ferz and Wazir suck as pieces but I want to make them useful (Probably a smaller 6x6 board would help, hypercourier chess can wait.)

Ever played The Hive?

Rule: you can move twice once in a game anytime except when you are not in check.

Constraints while playing this special move:

1.can't move same pieces twice.

2.can't move out of check.

3.can't give check and can't capture.
what's your opinion and how can I implement this on chess.com?

Stonewall, Play4Mate, Stalemate Loss, 2nd=EHMQV, Regicide

Blue creates a labyrinth by moving the kings, and after 20 moves, the kings solidify into walls.

Idea for a revision of self-destruction: https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/69731162

You should try playing Best Friends Forever

Thats neat. I would really like to play it

https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/69746102

The opponent resigned, but is this position good?

There's nothing wrong with it that I can immediately see, but how unique is it?

Another random thing I made:

FFA, Game of Points, 4th(2nd)=N

"Simplicity a la Islands"

Gotchur back:

(Joke, not actually using this)

If I submit it, I'm calling it "Caballos de los Islas"

Changes promotion to 3rd=QM

So for the variant I just posted, I am making an asymmetry but trying to make it balanced. Any volunteering testers? also this is the current position rn

I am hoping this creates more originality (first few moves can play out like standard chess to make people playing this variant not stress with openings).
