I think that’s bug
Thank you. So I missed out one thing.
It was in the rules but wasn’t in the pieces desc. Read about King, you’ll find.

Faceoff Chess. Chess with big moving restrictions for kings. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]As far as I know Eurasian Chess are played on bigger board & with also other pieces...
Yeah, it's borrowed from Synochess and Empire, but in general, from Xiangqi.
So probably it’s not a plagiarism, because I’ve not seen standard chess with faceoff rule.
What about this?) I see that’s ready also
Edit: I prefer to change “big” to “some” in preview description, but I can’t)

BTW I think that piece may be upgraded in value if it’s extended by another one which deletes all flaws of first piece. If that’s right, Bishop+Knight pair costs 6 (it can reach all the board as knight leaps and half of board by diagonal motion), Archbishop costs 7 (it can reach the whole board by any of its parts, but his color-switching “ingredient” isn’t distance ranger), and opposite-colored Bishops’ pair costs 8 (it can reach all the board diagonally, its cost increases on free or very non-crowded board, and 2 bishops near in row are like 2-squares big piece which can’t be reached by enemy king and is better than Rook and Archbishop).
Also cost increases on larger or smaller board sizes – example is Knight (which is OP on boards about 6x6 and smaller), or Magician from my Horizons (which is better on boards about 10x10 and larger; as well as Giraffe, Antilope or my Policeman from Stone Garden (thx to editors!)).
Sorry for my graphomania;). (Costs are measured in pawns where Queen costs 9)
So please watch at least one of my submissions (exc. for Random Piece Fight), I will be glad!
Atlantic Graphics. Chess font that supports fairy pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have remade some pieces and I can send it here
With Q=9 the true values (on 8x8) are B=3, B-pair = 6.5, Archbishop=8.25.
If Bishop is just 3, why the Queen is 9 if it's 8?! why Archbishop is 8.25 if it's 6 (according to B=3)?
I consider that there are chessmen with more permanent value (such as Rook or Silver) and with more floating value. (Each piece's value floats depening on board's situation, but some of their values don't exit certain natural number's area).
But a lot of them are worth two numbers and are closer to one in one position, and to other in another situation. There are some factors which are affecting: board's size, number of pieces on the board, abilities which piece has, and amount of squares which are available.
Number of pieces on the board can be sufficient (remember of Janggi Cannon & other hoppers).
Bishop is maneuverable ranger but it has one huge flaw - colorboundness, by this lone B=3. All things which dissolve it will increase bishop's value (slightly, but yes, methods are said in a comment above). In this system, value of Queen is considered as 9 because it's compound of Rook (5) with Bishop without its flaw, additionally giving the non-royal King's motion to Queen. It's synergy. (Archbishop is also strong but it's reachable by King and can't hold a straght line; Chancellor can hold a line, I consider that C≈8, but it's closer to 9 than Centaur, so less size of the board increases its price, all BN, RN and KN compounds).
About Knight. That morning I've come to my favourite pychess.org and played 3 games of Burmese Chess (Sittuyin), so I've understood that in first part of game (with crowded board) it's good to trade your Silver for opponent's Knight, because last has more mobility and forking ability. But in an endgame (on very non-crowded board), it's better to have Silver against Knight (with another weak pieces of course), because Knight + Ferz has less checkmating ability than Silver + Ferz; so Kinght's forking ability isn't useful if rooks are already traded. (So in variation of Thai Chess, called Makpong, where King can't move out of check but can capture checking piece, situation is more clear with advantage of Knight).
Anyway and anyhow, (in wide sense) chess is fun))))))))
Atlantic Graphics. Chess font that supports fairy pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Camel is made to better distinguish it from Knight. Nightrider has a little change so it can be declined.
P. S. (Вы знаете русский?)
Yeah, Queen is about 9, but even little more (especially in endgame), so:
If you became to put practical arguments, N+N+B≈Q, but B+B+N (if B-s are on different colors of cells) isn't, such as Bishops' pair is more than Knights' (but it's not 8 because board isn't fully free, and they can't be safe by standing near each other due to Queen's existence there). Yeah, B=N, but B=N≈3.5 (average price).
So about Archbishop, it's possible to have its value slightly more than 7 as average value.
So we should keep in mind that piece values just reflect the average performance of a piece, and that the actual performance for some imbalances might have a far greater variation than for other imbalances.
So if it's that, why do you use = symbol when I and Hirosi Kano use ≈ ?!
B+N+N≈Q and B+N+N=Q isn't same.
Why I count A≈7 (if accurately, 7.44) Archbishop has a less color-switching ability than Centaur or Chancellor.
One should realize, however, that Euwe's values just reflect his personal feelings.
It's right)))) so I also don't use (rude for me) computer analysis.
BTW can you check Faceoff or Kinzoku (Neodobutsu)? Please. I have so much ideas (about 20!) and only few are realized.
About Archbishop I meant only pure endgame (K+A vs K), because Bishop is maneuverable.
So stalemate possibility also matters. So for me, piece is more valuable if it’s easier and more possible to checkmate in pure late endgame.
So I really don’t understand, what have I done if you ignore my submissions?
So 7 is very weird number: I’ve claimed Hyperrook (RF), Archbishop (BN) and Magician as 7 in my own notation (which BTW has Manchu Superpiece and hasn’t Amazon), but now I watch and see that they all can cost 8 depending on situation; so I’m thinking about marking Nightrider, Squirrel and Unicorn as 7, but I don’t want to do it.
I will stop this discussion to not drown in it)
Can I change my ID? or what can I do about it?
OK

What is MBP? btw I can open these SVGs in Inkscape (where they were drawn) and convert into PNGs if you use PNGs in your diagrams.

I've created this by simple editing and copypasting but error occured https://www.chessvariants.com/play/pbm/play.php?game=Stone+Garden+Full+Contact&settings=stonegardenvarfc&submit=Edit
I also have some Rook-strength pieces: Longdebeest (Ö in my notation, CFX) and Dove (Ď in my notation, fFvDbsNbAvHfG). Both are majors; both are also weird (especially Dove).
{Also I think about new piece category, Mezor, which are minor in most variants, but become major in drop variants (such as my Warrior, Copper, Silver, Wildebeest, several Argentinian hoppers, etc.)}

One advice to you.
For me, Treasurer is imbalance strong, and if I was you, I’d fixed its range to 3-5 squares.
All other rules are good, your variant is new though it has already inspired me to create {something new also}.
Paradigm Chess30. Chess with Dragon Bishop and 30 positions.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating](Off topic, but so):
As far as I know it’s old cburnett graphics’ version, I can show to you it’s new version (used on https://lichess.org for several years).
I also contributed to these graphics adding Khon in https://pychess.org .
It will strongly refresh the look of CVP and probably raise up the number of our visitors (and mainly it may be used in Game Courier).
Thoughts on ear.
Please expand a bit on mezors! I don't understand what you mean!
It's a category of chessmen who have mating position but cannot reach it.
Not on this category, but I also will note that Commoner also has a power near the Rook.

Zip aka Lightning, watch the diagram with my graphics in comments if you want)
Really comeback)))))
About image — this is good, however you can also draw another image to probably invert the lightning standing on the fundament and make it less angles (not three but two).
That is how it looks in my imagination…
(The 2.5mm rule discussed with the Hangman applies here; the joint between the lightning bolt and the base is 3mm wide. Still, the size of the bolt may make it a bit more subject to breakage, so I may rework it to make that joint stronger.)
You can make the joint 2 times stronger. Maybe I'm wrong with asking for inverting it; that would be challenging for the skies; so lightning normally goes not into, but from it.
This kinda was my first thought for "beefing up," but I wasn't sure it'd be effective.
Probably the best. Like it falls on the telegraph pillar of the opponent:).
You can find a Sniff with an illustrations to Tove Jansson’s fairy tales, and draw something like him.
