Like normal chess, but if you take a piece, the capturing piece becomes the captured one here. 

Here is an example:

When the knight captures, it will become a pawn.

I like this, although wouldn't it be possible for one side to commit a crazy queen mate? Such as,

Checkmate

pawns are basically god in this gamemode

opponent must sacrifice a piece to stop a passed pawn

in 4 player chess, we sometimes have rated custom variants that the "royal" piece is a random piece, there was even once a variant that the queen was the royal piece. In other words, When the king takes the knight, it can still be the piece that gets checkmated, but it can be a "royal" knight.

lol i don't think so the queen would be come a pawn (it just captured) and black could play Ke7

So, king cannot capture
