Replace all the pawns with peasants, they have a 1/20 chance of revolting against their own king and turning into the other players' chess piece.

WHAT cool

Or a knight and a bishop combined which is worth 8 points instead.

What's it called and how can it move on the board?

Avatar of JatinStrikes

It can jump over pieces and can cover long diagonals, it can checkmate by itself without any help, it can change the colour of diagonals, like the two black and white bishop

Avatar of JatinStrikes

It has both the property of a knight and a bishop

Avatar of heeujdeuewi

so like a bishop that can jump over pieces?

Also...what'd you say IT CAN CHANGE COLOR TO THE OTHER TEAM?? WOAH :D

Avatar of JatinStrikes

But it may get trapped easily, that is why it is slightly less precious than the queen

But it may get trapped often and is less precious than queen

I mean not change colour to other team but can go on light squares and dark squares

Avatar of heeujdeuewi

Oh both. Yeah I get it. What's it called?

How about each player assigning 1 of 8 pawns a special rank before the game begins? That rank, I'll call it invictus, would make 1 pawn for each side immune to being captured until it crosses to the other side of the board. It's just an idea, not my best but not my stupidest either.

NICE

My own idea is that there's a piece, right? that can jump over pieces and go to ANY SQUARE on the board... BUT it can only be used once before it either gets captured or just vanishes after the use.

so like, for example, for a starting move you can just go ahead and capture the queen of the other team... but the piece disappears after you make a move.
