Bare Piece, Stalemate wins

Promotion

Chancellor, General, King, Ferz, Knight on the 8th rank

Note

Just a remake of Seirawan chess with Asean-like rules. See here at https://www.pychess.org/variants/asean The bishop is a ferz that can move one square forward so I used a king. The queen is a ferz. These fix the balance issues of the Chancellor and Archbishop in normal Seirawan chess.

Someone suggested to you to change it.

Ideas: change non-royal kings to another type of pieces, add points

The first one contradicts what you were trying to do, so I rebalanced Seirawan chess by adding Seirawan‘s rule to your position. No less than Philidor would have thought well of obviating the strength of the Queen, even if it was just a dig at the traffic from Checkers up to Chess:

”I presume they have been led away (like myself, formerly) by a bad custom established in all probability by the person who first brought Chess into France; I'm inclined to believe it must have been some player at Draughts, who knowing little more than the moves of the pieces, imagined one might make as many queens in the game of Chess, as at Draughts. I would only ask what a fine sight it is to see upon a Chess board, two pawns on the same square, to distinguish a second queen; and if by chance a third should be made (as I have often seen it at Paris) then it is still a finer sight while the bottom of one pawn is almost sufficient to cover a square on the board. Is not therefore this method most ridiculous, especially as it is practised in no country where the game of Chess is known?”

P. S. As for adding points, maybe that idea isn’t so serious.
