As some people on this club know, i posted a few posts about one of my variants ideas which have a larger board, i created some versions of this variant:
this is most likely to be last version of my large board variant, but i am still think about doing changes
theres the initial position of the variant:
and there are the pieces:
The King on this variant is stronger than regular chess, it can still move normally (1 square on each direction) but it can also move 2 squares vertically or horizontally (without jumping over pieces, move only) and also can capture pieces 2 squares diagonally (capture only, without jumping over pieces)
the pawns on this variant combines soldier (chess.com variants) and pawn (regular chess), they also can move 1 square straight sideways (move only) and they also can always move 2 squares foward like in torpedo chess (move only)
The Rooks are the same as regular chess
Carriage: Wazir + Xiangqi Horse
Elephant: moves like a bishop but it cant move 1 square diagonally, it can also capture diagonally as grasshopper (capture only, only diagonally)
Elephants cant capture pieces on the corners of the board (a1, p1, a16 and p16), (they also cant give checks to kings on the corners)
Warrior: moves like a camel but also can jump 3 squares horizontally or vertically
Former Actress: This piece Combines Queen and Xiangqi Horse, but it can also move 2 squares vertically or horizontally and then 1 square diagonally on that same direction, its like a Camel version of the Xiangqi Horse, this pieces is extremely strong on a 8x8 board but this variant uses a 16x16 board and this piece cant jump over pieces so it doesnt ruin the game
the Rook on this variant moves normally
Other rules:
Pawn Promotion: Pawns promote to Warrior, Carriage, Rook, Elephant, Crowned Bishop and Crowned Rook on the 16th, but if a pawn is promoted on the A file or the P file then it can be promoted to Warrior, Carriage, Rook, Elephant, Crowned Bishop and Crowned Rook but also to Windmill
The Windmill combines Rook, Ferz, Warrior (this variant) and Alibaba
Castling: this variant have Free Castling: you can choose where the king and the rook will be after castling as long as they dont leave the 1st Rank (for white) or the 16th Rank (for black), the conditions for castling are the same as Regular chess
Bare Piece Rule: the first player to lose all their pieces (except for the king) loses
illegal Perpetual Check: after giving 20 checks in a row to your opponent, then your next move must not be a check (unless if its your turn and you can checkmate your opponent in 1)
Pieces Value:
Former Actress: 13
Jester, Crowned Chancellor and Windmill: 9
Crowned Archbishop: 8
Pegasus: 7
Crowned Rook: 6
Rook: 5
Crowned Bishop: 4
Carriage, Elephant and Warrior: 3
Pawn: 1
Pawns Notation: on this variant pawns algebric notation is different: instead of being like a4 its Pa4, instead of being a8=R its Pa16=R
Acting Rule: Former Actresses cant capture each other until the 7th move of the game, but if the king of one of the players take a check then this rule is no longer applied to the current game/match
