Some suggestions for variants

Promotion should be more flexible: it would be better if we could define promotion for non-pawn variants and select specific squares for promotion for each player, that would already add tons of possibilities for variants

it would be really cool if we had more fairy chess pieces, these are some of my suggestions:

Crowned Rook: Rook + Ferz

Crowned Bishop: Bishop + Wazir

Wizard: Ferz + Camel

Champion: Wazir + Alibaba

Modern Elephant: Ferz + Alfil

Woody Rook: Wazir + Dabbaba

Xiangqi Cannon: moves like a Rook but it must jump over one piece to capture

Crowned Chancellor: Chancellor + Ferz

Crowned Archbishop: Archbishop + Wazir

Zebra: (3,2) Leaper

Bison: Camel + Zebra

Buffalo: Knight + Camel + Zebra

and many more…

it would also be cool if we could set KOTH squares for each player, for example: a variant where if the white king reaches the 8th Rank then white wins, if the black king reaches the 1st rank the black wins

Which one?

I know, the camel already exists, I was talking about other fairy chess pieces

In my fantasy world of anthropomorphic musical instruments, Crowned Knight, Bishop and Rook aren’t even fairy chess pieces though official chess play only sees them as a promotion of a pawn or the corresponding regular piece.

I usually don’t like pieces that have “more lives” or “have a limited amount of moves” or “can respawn”, I usually like fairy chess pieces without too much of special abilities, otherwise this makes the game feel too complicated and kinda cringy

But if it gets added to chess.com variants I simply won’t use it on my variants
