A chess variant where each peace is half a board with pawns that opens on each capture like atelescopic way.
There's one thing about chess that impacted me most the first time i played it and it was it's black and white nature, no piece is more powerful than other if it is menaced and it's the oponent turn. It's amazing simple but this simplicity can't be real.
If it's about war then it must be more than six pieces playing turns, that's why i came with batallions chess, a variant where each peace is made of many more little peaces in an atomic way and that captures takes much more consequences than in actual chess.
Let's say that each piece is in fact a batallion of pawns comanding as many as it's value to pawns, then game develops normaly as in Fide chess until there happens a capture, then a new board opens and both pieces face each other, or better said it's constituent pawns fight a new battle inside a board inside the board.
For eample if a horse takes a queen and queen value is 10 and knight value is 3 ,then it has to defeat the 10 pawns of the queen only with it's three pawns, the surviving pawns for each peace remain for every new battle, the piece is captures when all ist's pawns are captured.
To make things more intrestring every constituent pawn coould hold a quality of the peace, and losing that pawn equals to lose that quality: for a knight one pawn could be the move (2,0), other pawn the move (0,1), and the remaining the hability to jump other peaces, the ten pawns for a quien coul be 8 for each direction a queen moves, one for the slide hability for all moves, and the last one for the hability to move at all.
