Transformative Chess. New Variant Idea.

Sort:
GTSWPM150

Rook Bishop and knight transform every turn (initial positions are same).
Let me explain further.
In order to castle you must have your original rook be transformed back to rook and have necessary open space like in regular chess.
The King and Queen never transform and remain the same through the game.

Every turn you take a move, then all of Your rooks, bishops and knights instantly transform into a different piece (the next piece in the rotation). Play continues from there. Rotation cycle is as follows (Rook->Bishop, Bishop->Knight, and Knight->Rook). The cycle never stops and is not optional but mandatory transforms.

If possible not only 2 player chess but 4 player chess ffa, solo and teams please!!!

Of course pawns don't transform either.

So basically all pieces are the same?

True

I had an idea about a variant including a fairy piece that would protect all pieces around it from capture (except the king of course). The piece could not move and its position would be chosen by the players at the beginning of the game in their camps (line 1, 2, 3 and 4 for white and 5, 6, 7 and 8 for black).
What do you think of this ?

The coin only protects the coins in its camp of course

bibigboss

and this piece cannot be eaten

bibigboss

sorry, this piece cannot be captured

You can join this club if you would like to see this idea become a reality.
If I get enough support for a new website I will start development on it.
