Chameleon Chess

On Chess Variants Pages the interesting Chameleon piece is described. Here all pieces execute a role of a chameleon.

Rules:

The game is conducted by rules of orthodox chess with the following changes:

In each turn the rank of the moved piece changes.

The change occurs strictly under the order: Pawn - knight - Bishop - Rook - Queen - King -Pawn

When the capture, rank of a piece does not change.

Most likely it is necessary to refuse everyone promotion.

At castling the rook's rank changes.

In the basic variant the king is not exposed to any change. Further I have mentioned variant in which begin game only one pawns. There there is no royal piece.

Variants

For a choice about changes it is possible to use die. It is similar to game Insane. But here at first roll die, and then choose a piece for movement.

To begin game it is possible having only pawns on first two ranks.
