My friend and I used to play Using the King as a ninja assassin who could appear at any square on the board to take a piece once per game. The spontaneous relocation of the king was always interesting.
If there were a 7th piece, where would it start the game?
after the rook, is a good spot pthaloblue.(My brother artist)
actually there is another type of chess game called gothic chess with 2 new pieces, chancellor and archbishop.
it's quite cool actually... check the link out...

Would there be a 9th pawn?
No greeny, there would be ten pawns.
Since the board would be bigger,I see a piece moving diagonal for two squares and horizontal for three squares or viceversa starting on white, ending on black,snake like. Can you see that?
I like xiangqi cannons =D
They jump over any piece on the board (a cannon platform) and hit a target on the other side. The distance to the cannon platform/target makes no differance, as long as both are in a straight line. If they do not have a cannon platform/target, they move like rooks. When 2 cannons line up in a row, they can be weapons of mass destruction because they just leapfrog over eachother and switch roles as cannon/cannon platform.
What the arrow is coming out of is the cannon. What its pointing to is the target. The faded piece inbetween is the cannon platform.
If there was a seventh piece on the board; how do you see it moving?
