Dummy Chess

Same as standard chess, except that you can drop dummies on empty squares instead of moving a piece. There are a few restrictions, though:

1. You cannot place a dummy until you have moved your queen, your king, and your rook (castling counts as moving your king and your rook).
2. You cannot place a dummy next to a king.
3. You cannot place a dummy to get out of check or checkmate.
4. You cannot move a dummy.

What is a dummy?

A dummy is basically a piece that does nothing except stay on one square and get in the way of other pieces.

Can dummies be captured?

yeah

dummies are useful on the squares e2, e7, d2, d7, f3, f6, c3, and c6

So, pretty much my current setup then :(
