I think it might be fun to have a variant more focused on piece synergy and formations more instead of positions. Perhaps add new pieces as well. However this would be a variant as I would not change normal chess.

It would be cool to have video game-type chess app with like special abilities and upgrades and yes (#2) new pieces would be cool

If I made it, there would be no draws. Always a way to tiebreak.
I like the idea of going into an endgame being risky. If you are up a pawn, you shouldn’t be guaranteed to win, there should still be some strategy like there is now. So, my new rule:

If there is insufficient material, whoever made the most recent capture wins.
Timeout vs insufficient is no longer a thing, the time-outer always loses.
