On every captured piece you have the option of blowing any piece to any square then you must play where it lands. But you only have 3 seconds to do so.

The earliest precursor of modern chess is a game called chaturanga.
In early chess the moves of the pieces were:
King: as now. Queen: one square diagonally, only. Bishop: In the version that went into Persia: two squares diagonally (no more or less), but could jump over a piece between In a version sometimes found in India in former times: two squares sideways or front-and-back (no more or less), but could jump over a piece between. In versions found in Southeast Asia: one square diagonally, or one square forwards. Knight: as now. Rook: as now. Pawn: one square forwards (not two), capturing one square diagonally forward; promoted to queen only.
Two Arab travelers each recorded a severe Indian chess rule against stalemate:
A stalemated player thereby at once wins. A stalemated king can take one of the enemy pieces that would check the king if the king moves.Bring back elephants!
If you put four of the same piece in a diamond shape, that piece is summoned in the middle of the diamond.

"name" it? "nuke" it?
"Yes," to naming it.
"No," to nuking it. I don't believe nuclear weapons should have any place in the ancient, honorable, elegant game of Chess.
Sorry motherinlaw I spelt "name" wrong it your quoting me...just say no the wine kids!

Each player has to resign in the beginning so it's draw unless if one of the players weren't there at time(1 sec. counts too, or 0.00001sec)
there is no going to the bathroom during a chess game, if you need to "go" you're in trouble.
Landmine Chess: Both players secretly record the location of one square at the start of the game, which must not be occupied by an enemy unit. Your own men can enter your landmine square without harm, as they know where the mine is, but the first enemy unit to enter that square detonates the mine and is eliminated. When your mine goes off, you place another on a square not occupied by an enemy unit. If your king detonates a mine, you lose the game.
you can take pawns sidways: enpassant
If a pawn makes it to the top row you don't get a promotion, you get your opponent's wallet.

You get their allowance. Yes that's harsh but that's the price they pay. Just kidding!
What if they don't have an allowance
Instead of saying "check", you can say "Bingo!"
Your king can move to any unattacked square on the board, once promoted, as with an old form of Japanese chess. To promote your king, get him to the last two lines.
