Why all this forum hostility? Did I miss something?

The saboteur. Each side has two of them, replacing the a and h pawns. They can never move or capture, but they can be captured.

THISISAWARRIOR attempted to lower my ego to raise his own by changing my name to “an idiot”, which is both pointless and possibly illegal.

I'm aware of this and I think I commented on it. I'm just unsure as to why he did it or why anyone has insulted anyone to be honest.

The Doppleganger, it imitates the move of a single piece for the rest of the game after the first 10 plies.

The empty square - it leaves the board when captured by any piece, and returns as soon as that piece leaves. Uhm didn't we already have this?

No. You can't take an empty square with a pawn at the moment and it might make castling difficult.

Pawn that starts on the eighth rank.

The RAR Knight, which jumps over all the pieces, including itself, making it the RAR master’s favorite piece.

The fool. It is your piece that your opponent can move

The only thing the FIDE laws say on the subject is:

 

Art. 1.1 The game of chess is played between two opponents who move their pieces on a square board called a ‘chessboard’.

 

Nowhere is it stated that each player may move only his own pieces. The online USCF rules http://www.uschess.org/content/view/7324/28/#section8 also fail to state that.

 

So apparently the fool is not new. All existing pieces are fools. It's just that not many people take full advantage of their capabilities.
