I think it's ready to be published.

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad someone else enjoys this variant.

If you're into even more complex games like the one you created, which seems pretty crazy to me, I suggest trying the sub-variant of Banzai. I haven't settled on a name for it yet (that's why there's no page about it at the moment).

Basically, everything remains the same, but you can push multiple pieces with a single move instead of just one. You'll be amazed at how this single change not only increases the complexity but also enhances the enjoyability of the game.

I was thinking of calling it Zero Gravity Chess, abbreviated as 0G, but I'm still not sure about the name. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your suggestions!

I really like Archimedes Chess but unfortunately there is already a variant called like that. Which seems to be the case with almost any name I can come up with...

Maybe I'll just call it banzai 2.0, banzai unbound or something else along these lines.

I had already thought about Domino Chess and I do like Domino Banzai. What do you think about Hyper Banzai or Accelerated Banzai?

Thanks! I think I will stick to Hyper Banzai for the moment. Do you think is it okay to not explain again the rules (since they are already described here) and just link this page? Because in this way I can simply tell where is the main difference and then show it with only few images. Like this

You are correct. I can describe it here, but unfortunately I can't put any more pictures on this page. That's why I'm probably going to describe the rules, just more briefly, on the other page. Thanks, again, for your wise suggestions!

Babel Chess. Sub-variant of Banzai where you can push more than 1 piece per move. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I agree with you, unfortunately there is already a variant named this way...

That is amazing! Thanks! How can I implement it inside the main body of the page? Just thinking about those who may access it from their smartphone, which are very unlikely to check out the comment section!

I tried to recreate the same Interactive Diagram with the Betza notation you used but I got some troubles with the pieces' image... How do I get to know their filenames?

Thanks again! I finally managed to resolve the issue with the images. I noticed the thing with the push-promotion but I'm totally fine with it. I don't think there is a way to allow the users to choose the promotion piece, and even if there was I don't believe it is that important in this particular case :)

EDIT: I found out that it is possible to choose the promotion piece, but I'm not sure if it is possible to implement this option for a "push-promotion".
