Frank Maus 1924. Two pieces can fuse into a stronger unit, and can dissociate. I did not allow any amazons (R+B+N).

Confederation Chess.
2010-08-13	George Duke	None	Confederation is interesting as derivative of Absorption Chess, the latter's origination probably 19th century but maybe earlier. Interesting for being made during 1920s by who must be German (or German american) Frank Maus, developer of all of Cavalry, Thinktank, and Allthought the same period.

Dawson had just invented Grasshopper, Vao, Nightrider the previous decade.	View [*]
