I don't want to be a nag, but I urge you to evaluate this. Two Scorpion
pawns have the same value as a light piece. This contributes to the
stability of the positions, despite the increase in the tactical possibilities.
This new pawn could probably spice up many big-board variants, too.

Scorpion movement is very much like that of the 'KOMA' piece # M-014 from the game Nacvia Dratp. But the Koma can capture or move to any of the indicated 5 squares.
This is a new(?) pawn that I call Scorpion and it has two extra, oblique, movement directions, but no extra captures. Luckily, 'pion' means just pawn in espanol. It works very fine. It makes the games more lively. I suppose it could be introduced to practically any chess variant, instead of the standard pawn. It's all yours!
Try it! I made a zrf that I call Scorpion chess, featuring this new dangerous pawn. --Mats

A case in point is Elephant Chess, which was, perhaps, a little dull and drawish before. Now it's more lively.
