Any time after 10 moves you may change the color of your bishop: if: you no longer have a bishop of that color. and , it will cost you a move to do it.

I got another one: Your 2 knights may fuse (by one "capturing" the other, as if it's an enemy piece) to a Dragon Knight!! (has the combined moves of Q+K)

Nice, eh?

How about you may, as your turn, replace a knight you possess on the board, with a bishop. Or vice-versa.

Can a Rook and King win against a Bishop and King in the end game?

Not without any pawn. Unless there's some quick way to win that bishop.

Oh, it can get darn close! Think: 49 moves with the same pieces on the board and no pawn moves made, and you change a bishop's color. Now you have to start counting all over again because the set of pieces on the board has changed, because a light-squared bishop is a different piece than a dark-squared bishop. Assuming you can't just eat some piece or deliver mate when you change a bishop's color, you get to goof around for another 49 moves before rinsing and repeating.

Which is inevitable if you get stuck in the wrong corner.

You can detonate your Queen like a bomb, destroying everything adjacent to it (regardless of color). If the enemy Queen is caught in the blast radius, then it explodes as well.

That too.

you can change a bishop into a knight, and cut the religion out of the game

The sides of the board are connected (like a cylinder), so if you have a knight on a3, he can jump to h5.

I was thinking of a new piece.  It's called the beer keg.  It doesn't really do anything, just sits in the middle of the board and any piece that gets near it falls over drunk.  A few openings would need to change slightly if this suggestion were adopted.

This may breathe new life into the Bongcloud...
