New variants

So I have a few new variants. Some of these are concerned about the pieces and their movements, but some of them are not.

1. Diagonal Pawns – In this variant, pawns can move one square diagonally even when they are not capturing. A pawn can move diagonally two squares in either direction if it is moving for the first time. Pawns still can move forward like normal. En passant and pawn promotion still work as normal. 

2. Backwards Pawns – In this variant, pawns can move one step backward. They don't capture backward. Not much in this variant, really.

3. The 65th Square – This variant is like the King of the Hill variant. In this variant, the board is split in half vertically. Between d4 and e4, there is a single square. The square's color is chosen randomly. This square is referred to as 's65' in notation form. A player is awarded three points if they manage to get one of their bishops on s65. 

4. Double Pieces – In this variant, the player gets double the pieces you originally get. For example, White will get queens on d1 and d3. On e3, where the duplicated king is supposed to be, there is a fairy chess piece chosen at random. Since the game is played on a normal 8x8 chessboard, all of the squares are occupied by a piece. So White can capture Black's pawn with his own pawn. 

5. Forward Bishops – In this variant, both players get two forward bishops on c1 and c7 (White) or f1 and f7 (Black). Forward bishops are a mix of a rook and a bishop. Forward bishops can move forward and capture forward, while still having the powers of a regular bishop. They are represented with a bishop body and a rook's base. To make it easier for you, think of the elephant in fairy chess and replace the top knight with a bishop. Forward bishops can't move sideways or backward. they can also be used as regular bishops.

So those were all my variant ideas. Let me know how you feel about these!

Good variants, a lot of imagination, I congratulate you.

i like a lot of these ideas
