we need to try chess variants

Chess960 or Fisher SHUFFLE is the best I've being playing, but we need to go even further using the same chess pieces and the same Fisher shuffle idea. 

960 includes the old chess, and other variants may be good fun but Imagine a Fisher Shuffle where all the pieces are born by a dice, we could see a king and 7 queens, or 7 kings and one queen, 3 horses and 4 bishops behind the pawn line, or 8 kings one day. I named it Total chess and if someone has a better name it is to be forged in this site. Say goodbye to the openning theory for ever. We could have a game with no kings (due to the mirror simetry of forces) and in that case the last standing piece wins the war. Kings would be normal pieces until the only one remais alive. By chance we could have a board that is a 960, but almost never ever the old chess, (1 divided by 1 679 616) so low is that chance compared to all dice rolls that there is. Help ask for that in every good site. The most fun is yet to be sorted out. No new pieces, nothing new to learn , but a completely new madness. A rule like castling can be erased and so it is easier to understand. Castling breakes the physics of chess, it is wrong per se. Total chess is very wide endeed , just one board down here, anything you want, promote pawn to pawn ! If you want to !

Say goodbye to openning theory for ever. Never play the same board twice. No fast games can be done precisly. No need to castle the king. Win by check mate or by the last standing piece ( # or $).

 

6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 = 1 679 616 

---- Dice roll => 1 is a pawn, 2 is a knight, 3 is a bishop, 4 is a rook, 5 is a queen, 6 is the king,

---- No new piece and no new rules . You know what it is.

however anything is possible
