new variant idea

RULES!

on a1 and a8 there is a fish.

the fish moves like this:

it can only move on the 1st rank and the 8th rank.

and king of the hill.

+1 or -1?

so it's king of the hill but weird

King is a fish. Fish can't move to 2nd rank. Why KotH if K/F can't move to the center?

no the goal is to get to the end of the board not the center

Hmm. I -1 this idea. But it seems to be fun.

0

So its racing kings but with 8 queen and 8 rook with a custom guardian piece that guard the backrank?

way too messy

But what will @spacebar think?

The fish is a rook that can only move horizontally? or a king that can only move horizontally?

uh the fish is a useless piece then

If there are multiple pieces on the rank that the fish is on the fish can clear them all at once.

Only enemy pieces

In this case the a1 rook is a fish so it can eat all except the d1 rook

1.fish is capturable 2.It would be checkmate

Good

1. it can move far as it wants 2.No

2.it is to king of the hill remember?

So what is the fish for if it is koth...

white koth

fish: oh look ima guard the backrank

opponent: ok you stay there while all the pieces are fighting and guard the air around the king it is very important
