Ghost: the rim of a 10x10 board. (The inside 8x8 in for normal chess) it can check (and mate) from the rim. It has to stay on the rim. Moves like rook. Your ghost and the opponent’s ghost can not be on the same square. It can NOT move next to the king.

Wrong Amazon: jumps over pieces when move like queen, can NOT jump when move like knight. Value: 14
That is at least 20 points, thats an unstoppable queen

Just keep pressing "Next page" at the bottom of the list to advance to the next letter.
Why do you need more pieces?
"Can not capture and can not be captured"
That is a Block: https://www.chessvariants.com/rules/travelers
The Canon name is already taken: https://www.chessvariants.com/piececlopedia.dir/pao.html

Well, I would say King-Queen. It moves like a queen but is as important as a king, i.e., even if your king is OK if this King-Queen thing is captured you lose. Quite a simply one. I would place it next to king on a 10x10 board and place it on the edge of the board for a normal 8x8 board.

The cannon, it can push another piece forward by 1-5 blocks or until it reaches the edge of the board, whatever the piece it launched stepped on will be captured. The cannon can not capture and can move like a queen . The notion when it moves is C. When it launches a piece( ex pawn) it will be C-P to whatever square it went on.
