First, there are plenty of common chess variants which are actually unplayable to a bigger or smaller extent, like Shafran's hexchess, Capablanca chess, or some minor ones whose names are out of my memory.

Second, I didn't claim or post that this page is finished, which can be seen as a requirement, and I wanted to showcase the whole topic or a concept, since I tested different types of boards and found the whole concept to be playable. Anything that can potentially both work and being not described previously, can exist by default. Again, the proposed board is the most, default, basic way to represent that. It is an idea, and the description is unfinished.

There are not millions of chess variant ideas. In fact, they are limited. In a dramatic way.

Thrid, if not me, there would be someone to propose another original 8x8 modesty or something with RN and BN as new pieces and claim that it's the most revolutionary thing in the world which would solve world hunger and break the laws of thermodynamics if applied on a common level instead of orthochess. If it suits the intended way, I may step down.
