Love it !!

A new piece call Tourist. Confusing piece move randomly at the board with dice roll, jam in with other pieces if occupied the same space
FistMyBump
A weather piece, takes square regardless of occupant, determined by two 8-sided-dice after every 4 turns, if it takes your king, you lose.
FixedsysLabs
That’s actually not a bad gameplay idea
Sentay
Go check out Chess 2 (steam) it has several armies that have unique mechanics and was made by a grandmaster (if i remember right)\.

I would like to upvote the original creator, please.
thiccpancake
The politician as soon as it is in front of one all pawns are taken off the board
IThinkYouGotAFineBrainJack
The Kirby. It moves like the last piece it captures.
RedPhenix754
Ok i need to try this
eternalentity
The Eddie Hitler.
legendcommathe
The double agent. Both sides control this piece on their turn.
anarchistimposter
The revolutionary: moves in any direction, moves 2 spaces per turn, turns enemy pawns and knights into fellow revolutionaries, kills others
DangerTrain
It's like somebody was trying to be a smartass without understanding how, ironically, useful that would be in chess. Like real life.
redhandfilms
The Necromancer. Resurrect 1 piece per turn. Zombie now move forward 1 per turn & turns any it touches. All zombies fall if Necromancer dies
CloseEncounter
The Nuke- whoever uses it, you both lose
TyphinSkunk
Reminds me of Nightmare Chess, from Steve Jackson Games. Adds a deck of cards to the game to do all sorts of things.

Paw with a gun, it’s self explanatory

ThePowerOf42
It also will question every other pieces rule, ask if it has a filled form if you try move against it. Sends you back if you don't have any
dooremouse
In triplicate
Ijustsawmyreflectionblink
My brother always used to get angry and flip the board when he knew he was to lose. As a result 50% of the pieces were random items (1/2)
Ijustsawmyreflectionblink
Such as star wars figures and buttons (2/2)
DurendaI
The Joker. Moves in arcs.
fuccengotem
I don’t get it.
GeminiSprk
The Wizard - It can move one space in any direction and can swap the positions of adjacent pieces to any adjacent space.
mattsall
And has diplomatic immunity, any piece that takes it is also removed from the board

Nuclear missles. It's pretty great for modeling a cold war game theory, once you actually play it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratomic
Zokalwe
No idea this existed. Now I gotta try it.
DarkUranium
TalkingSnake
I wouldn’t add, I would say that at any point in the game each player can declare one piece type and each player must remove 50% of those.
TalkingSnake
The forced narrative of chess being a war strategy lesson is just dumb. Chess has rules, both sides are equal and you can see all the pieces
TalkingSnake
War has and always will facefuck anyone involved, who cares about how the knight moves.
NotHerrVonClaussen
It's not the absolute be-all-end-all, but it gives a starting point
CactusFantastic0
Exactly. It’s the upgrade of checkers. Like connect four, they teach the need to not be reactionary; starting to think 1,2,3 moves ahead.
twofivefour
Assassin's Chess from Discworld. Extra piece & extra spaces for that piece to use.
theFinks
Better yet you dont see where the opposing assassin is and they write it down separately. If your piece lands on that spot it does. 1/2
theFinks
Similar to how the bioterrorist works in Pandemic.
CrypticRuin
Thanos snap, remove 50% of opponents pieces, and vice versa, excluding king.
greminator
Too soon.
TopCommenter
That's a mechanic, not a piece.
AVoiceOfReason
You could make it so the Thanos piece has to visit the other end, or four/ five specific spots
freehugsforeveryone
I for one support this. A slight modification though randomly removes 50% of both opponents and the player's pieces, no pieces are immune
Aksuuuh
Balanced, as all things in life should be.
GrandProtectorDark
Technically a snap can remove any percentage if people

The Traitor: One piece on each side that can be moved by either player as a turn. Marked on bottom & moving wrong piece is a forfeit.
AntaNce
ooOOooooooo! I'm up for this one.
Kyrorayne
I was thinking Traitor or Necormancer. The Traitor can only move 2 spaces at a time in one direction (makes getting into place difficult).
JodyHighroller
Necromancer can move in the same way as any piece that you've lost - E.G, if you have a dead rook and bishop, it can pick one >
JodyHighroller
per turn per move, but can't move like a knight.
Kyrorayne
The Traitor can only attack if next to a lone piece with friendly unit within 2 spaces or the enemy King is completely alone.
Kyrorayne
The necromancer unit will "convert" all units that they capture. Necromancers move either 3 squares straight or 2 squares diagonal.
Kyrorayne
Side note for the Traitor. It cannot be attacked unless attacks first.
realrealluckless
Can be set on the board or moved in place of a player's turn. Player cannot move it on consecutive turns. - Actually sounds fun.
greminator
What’s it called?
ratfaceddog
The Aristocrats!
stevescubasteve
Yeah let’s find a way to make chess last even longer
philopsyche
This would be far too strong in actuality. Most player's would probably use it to black checkmate and prolong the game.
philopsyche
Block*
realrealluckless
Eh, that's part of the point. You have to plan your check mates with how they can be blocked and how you can block the next move.
MrRandom314159
You can use it to defend against checkmate, it can block so you can castle properly, can be used to bait a trap, or limit an opponent's move
dorpjorp
Ok but what shape will it be?
gnopenope
a one legged duck.
Monka42
It's gotta look like Hermes from Futurama.
YourDepression
A dildo
MightyPotatoOverlord
A fat cat
theuncommon56
A writing desk
Draygen
Between a pawn and bishop in height, fat and round at the bottom and squared off at the top. Ugly, imposing, and all around unpleasant.
epyonwing
Like a vogon
clutchthepearls
A short, bloated, blockhead. I like it.
ThatcherInTheRye
Sounds like a Douglass Adam's quote lol
drawnoutt
very similar to variant called duck chess. https://duckchess.com
gnopenope
oh wait... there's duck chess?!?
Denim777
I really like this idea, ill suggest it to the next person i play chess against.
idiotcube
World-Serpent. It's three squares wide and eight squares long. You place it at one side of the board and it travels to the other side, (1/2)
idiotcube
consuming any pieces in its path regardless of allegiance (excluding kings).
cazaron
Any rules on that cause I'd like to use it turn 1 on their back rank
idiotcube
Maybe it can only move vertically? That way, at least in the early game, you'll have to sacrifice some of your own pieces.
cazaron
Curse you and your reasonable ideas!
idiotcube
Also, each player can only use their World-Serpent once per game. Use it wisely!
6reut
That's almost half the board though
idiotcube
Yup!
6reut
Run me through it: the snake eats almost half the board and how does the game continue?
idiotcube
It doesn't eat the board, just the pieces.
6reut
My bad, i meant half the pieces on the board. So you start with the kingside missing?
Granttrees
The SJW, whatever piece your opponent moves it automatically moves directly in front of it and speaks incessantly slightly too loud.
KingKolunikus
Slight change: both black and white SJW pieces work against white pieces only.
Strikeandburn
Also, the king has been has been renamed rapist and the queen Is the one to protect.
KingKolunikus
The queen can now move to any spot on the field that could be accessed by any allied piece. Doesn't matter if some man did the work to get
KingKolunikus
there, the queen deserves that position because she is underrepresented on the board.
