What strange chess rules can you think up?

That would be fun to win

Lol, yes it would!

i always wondered what it would be like if the knight could move in a longer L shape for example from a1 to b4

Once in your chess career, you can tell your opponent (with no penalty) "Your car is being towed!". Your opponent must act like he believes you.

Nice idea.  So would there be a penalty for rolling your eyes, and saying "Yeah, Right, Sure ... like I even Own a car ..." ?

The word "booby" could be ambiguous here... ;-)

Booby trap, lol.

OMG NO ONE COMMENTED HERE FOR 4 MONTHS 

There's a new piece called Chuck Norris. The only way to get it is to stick your queen, two knights, and your two bishops in a plus shape. Then those pieces merge together and you get the Chuck Norris piece. Obviously, now your queen, two knights, and your two bishops are gone. But it doesn't really matter, because the Chuck Norris piece can K.O. all of the pieces on the other side except for the king, and then the piece goes over to the king and swiftly ends its life.

It's an overpowered piece, but it's pretty hard to get.

1. White Pieces MUST move on the white squares and vice versa. (Sorry bishop!)

2. Players cannot put themselves in check with their own pieces.

3. You can capture your own peices and then pull them out and put them on any square when you need to.

anyone named 'Lee' always wins.

But not those named 'klee.'

That's fine. My name is not 'klee' or 'kleelof'. It's Lee.

promote to King!

What if the queen makes a knight move on the back rank?

A point based game, so commentators could yell:

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!"

"What a beauty!"

"It's a ripper!" (pronounced rip-ah, with an Australian accent)

Lazer Chess: Rooks can go from one end of the board to the other,wiping out all pieces in its path.

Royalty Chess: Pawns have the Queen's powers, the queens have the Knights abilities and the knights have the bishops powers and the King canonly make the same moves that the original pawns could make.

For every time you move your king piece, you must sacrifice a pawn, your opponent chooses which "free pawn" to remove from the board, if you have no more pawns left you instead have 5 moved left before the game is considered a draw.

Copy Chinese Chess and if the two kings are on an empty file or rank by themselves the king can be taken.

Or can't because the move before would be an illegal move.

How about if they are the only pieces they become queens and if you put your opponent in check you get a knight? The queens stay queens though.
