Man and Beast 20: Far From Square. Systematic naming of more complex hex-specific pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]What about Falcon-like pieces involving a Rumbaba or other HD component? Especially now that George Duke’s patent on these pieces has expired, so you’re free to make “Falkeschach”. (I also want to see more Rhino-like pieces that mix all 3 of Rookwise, Bishopwise, and Unicornwise steps (of course having a 3MD instead of an EMD); the first one of which has a Fortnightwise 3MD on a cubic board, and therefore could be called “Fortrhino”.)
My suggestion for the Chevron version of the Falcon would be Warlobird. (Which also allows a suffix for pieces mixing oblique moves like how the Falcon family mixes radial moves: for example, a Gnubird would mix Knight and Camel moves.)
Falcon Chess. Game on an 8x10 board with a new piece: The Falcon. (10x8, Cells: 80) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]A 3d version of the Falcon that would make sense, would also incorporate root-3 diagonal “Unicorn” moves. A combination of Duke’s Falcon with Gilman’s Vulture, Kite, and a piece Gilman surprisingly didn’t name (I think it would be a “Multipath Stepping Fortnight”, if my Gilmanese is correct). Gilman calls the leaping version of this piece a “Trison”.
The Falcon is a generalization of the Korean Elephant.
Oblong chess. Variant of Shatranj, played on a four by sixteen sized board. (4x16, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Or with the modern Bishop and Queen.

Vao. moves like bishop but must jump when taking.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Big Battle. Commercial chess variant on 10 by 10 board. (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I know this is a really old commercial variant from the late-90s, but the moves of the Queen and the Prince should be swapped. That way, the Queen (=Amazon) remains the most powerful piece, and it makes sense to have two Princes (=Queen) and one Queen (=Amazon), instead of two Princes (=Amazon) and one Queen (=Queen).
Accounting Chess. Modern Business Chess: win by capturing or indicting the opposing CEO (King), or bilking all of your Stockholders (Pawns). (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]In a hypothetical Grand Accounting Chess, the Marshal and Archbishop would respectively be renamed as the COO and CMO, and along with long-range moves, using their Knight moves would make them Crooked.
. Adds rifle-capturing archers and royalty-inheriting princes.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Fixed.
Cannon Shogi and Cannon Chess. Played on a 9x9 Shogi board, feature various types of 'Cannon' pieces. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Combine Cannon Shogi with Okisaki Shogi on a checkered board and you've combined European, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cheeses into one chess.

I would like this page deleted. I made this variant when I was younger, and I want to remove it from the database. I have newer variants planned.
