Variant Proposal: The Everything Piece

Overview

The Everything Piece is a new ultra‑powerful fairy piece designed as the ultimate fusion of all known chess movements. It combines the abilities of every major fairy piece (Amazon, Chancellor, Archbishop, Camel, Zebra, and more) into a single unit. It can leap, slide, jump, and move in any direction with any pattern.
This piece represents the “final form” of movement logic — a complete superset of all piece abilities.
---
Movement
The Everything Piece can:
• Move like a queen (rook + bishop)
• Move like a knight
• Move like a camel (3,1 leaper)
• Move like a zebra (3,2 leaper)
• Move like an alfil, dabbaba, ferz, wazir, and all other classical fairy leapers
• Move like an amazon (queen + knight)
• Move like a chancellor (rook + knight)
• Move like an archbishop (bishop + knight)
• Jump over pieces freely
• Slide any distance like a rook or bishop
• Leap any distance like long‑range fairy pieces
In short:
If any fairy piece can do it, the Everything Piece can do it.

Special Ability: Optional Copying
After the opponent makes a move, the Everything Piece may optionally copy the movement type of the opponent’s last move on its next turn.
Examples:
• If the opponent moves a knight, the Everything Piece may move like a knight.
• If the opponent moves a rook, it may move like a rook.
• If the opponent moves a bishop, it may move like a bishop.
This ability is optional, not forced.

Optional Rule: Teleportation
Variant creators may enable a once‑per‑game teleport, allowing the Everything Piece to move to any empty square on the board.
---
Starting Position
Each player begins with one Everything Piece, placed in the center of the board:
• White: d4
• Black: d5
(Or any central squares the developers prefer.)
---
Win Condition
Capturing the opponent’s Everything Piece immediately wins the game.
This creates a “boss battle” dynamic where both sides fight for control of the center and try to protect their super‑piece while hunting the opponent’s.
---
Point Value
The Everything Piece is valued at 100 points, representing its overwhelming power and importance.
---
30‑Move Protection Phase
For the first 30 full moves (60 plies):
• No checks are allowed
• No checkmates are allowed
• Kings may stand on attacked squares
• Kings may move into attacked squares
• The Everything Piece cannot be captured
• All other captures and moves are legal
This creates a “no‑check zone” where king safety is temporarily suspended and both sides can position their forces freely.
---
Transition at Move 31
When move 31 begins:
• Checks become legal
• Checkmates become legal
• Capturing the Everything Piece becomes legal
• Kings must not remain on attacked squares
• Kings must not move into attacked squares
Critical Clause
If a king is standing on an attacked square at the moment move 31 begins, that player immediately loses.
This creates a dramatic countdown effect:
players may take risks early, but must fix their king’s safety before the protection expires.

Why This Variant Works
• Introduces a new strategic objective: protect your super‑piece while attacking theirs
• Creates dynamic, tactical positions from move one
• Adds a structured buildup phase followed by an explosive midgame
• Appeals to players who enjoy fairy chess, variants, and high‑complexity strategy
• Offers a unique “boss battle” feel not found in any existing Chess.com variant

"If a king is standing on an attacked square at the moment move 31 begins, that player immediately loses."

Very likely, both Kings will be be standing on an attacked square.

Is that situation a draw? Or a win for the player at move?
