What about Custom Castling? You choose the royal piece and the other piece to castle with.
stuff that will make custom variants more cooler (concepts) (pls do add)

[Variant "Teams"]
works in analysis, but crashes in real games.
The discussion about shogi pieces has existed for years. If chess.com chooses to go in that direction, cool. But I don't think they will.
You know what shogi pieces I need the most? Bishop and rook with king compounds. I have made countless variants/drafts and the amount of thinking I had which went like 'A dragon rook here would be nice' is uncountable.
what do you guys think?
