New Variant

This is my new chess variant. It’s called Half&Half Chess. 
Setup:

BattleChessGN18

Can pawns still promote to Queen?

hotcrystal1
Yes
BattleChessGN18

I think the typical first move, then, would likely be to get those d-pawns promoted to Queen; or, it will happen within the first 3 moves. =D =P

Yep, the main point here is to do promotions but I feel like white has an advantage with this setup

I do say, if, both promotional Queens were to be recaptured, the end-situation would be that Black's King would be left somewhat exposed, giving Black a slight disadvantage.

Of course, don't forget: it's rather easy to get more than 1 Queen per player! (The Knight is a leaper, after all. haha)

Yep, I see this as more of who can take advantage of the easy multiple promotions

this is my new chess variant

Called: double-decker chess

All rules as same as classical chess, but the number of figures and their arrangement is different

Here's some ideas:

SlowPawns: Pawns can only move one square and can't move 2 on their first move

GamesAlwaysEnd: Normal chess but neither side is allowed to draw or resign

PremovesAreGood: 1 minute bullet but every premove gives you 5 seconds for free
