Fluidity Chess. 
No displacement capture, all non-royal pieces take by cutting through or bypassing. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Seikaku Ni Wanai Shogi. Shogi with no strong pieces, but very strong promotions. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Re-Ghost Chess. The last captured piece turns into leaping transparent ghost and isn’t able to capture but still can check. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Fairyranga. Game based on Chaturanga & Makruk with Southeastern, Mongolian and even Russian elements. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Regenerative (Oceanic) Chess. Members-Only Piece can return to owner by 5 moves of his similar piece; King is more returnable… so take all opposite army!

Conquer. Captured pieces change sides immediately, occupying the square the capturer moved from. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have the shorter description of this variant.
“Captured piece swaps with its capturer and changes its color.”
Home page of The Chess Variant Pages. Homepage of The Chess Variant Pages.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I have a graphic piece set Joyful for small cells, you can find it in my user directory. They’re small. I made them for custom grids (e. g. Crazy 38’s and Rocket Chess). Can you write them to graphics, please?
Heavenly Queen Chess. Queen’s motion is changed slightly but enough to make it unique. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Can you review this please? Cavalry Queen is published but has a link to this unpublished page. Please also publish this and again rewrite invention to me.
BTW I’ve recently finished a GC game with Richard Milner in this game. I won #
Sorry, too late, but this piece is already figured in your “blog”
Seikaku Ni Wanai Shogi. Shogi with no strong pieces, but very strong promotions. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This page is ready for your review, please perform it)
Fairyranga. Game based on Chaturanga & Makruk with Southeastern, Mongolian and even Russian elements. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This is an additional rule? It's probably just me but the way it's positioned in the article makes it seems as if it should be derivable from the other rules…
In any case, I take it that means that a frog that reaches the far rank while there's already a Tsarevna on the board (or there have already been 3) simply remains as it is?
Made them bolder and done some minor editing. This is ready, yeah?
They will say me: go to hell)
Hexagonal chess on Lichess? Guy are you normal?!! WTFlame bro >,<? (I’m already banned in Lichess project in GitHub on both my accs because sparked by my ideas or off topic when devs were tired)
However, starting a new site from fork on recently announced GitPod is fine. Though I have almost no skill of coding. I’m ideaman.
@Jean-Louis and @François,
this domain doesn’t exist. It’s just a sparkling idea…
@Bob, IDK, really… currently none of Lichess forks supports 3D/4D.
I have an idea...
Of Lichess-based site on Scala with chess variants on non-square boards. https://lishapes.org
Variants should be available on it:
- Hexagonal Chess:
- Glinski's
- McCooey's
- Shafran's
- Koval's
- Tri-chess (on triangles)
- Pentagonal Chess
- Irrational Chess
- Accelerated Chess
- Rocket Chess
And probably:
- Crazy 38 Chess
- Grande Acedrex
- Metamachy
- Horizons
There'll no bullets, rapids, etc. — no rating differences for time controls. Correspondence games are rated. No AI (like Stockfish or Fairy-Stockfish) currently planned.
{Bruh I can look nerd or teaching, but if I created many games with same thematic or rules, I’d used to write them in ONE PAGE.
Bruh it’s just my own subjective opinion)}
Diagram Editor with scalable graphics. An easy-to-use tool for drawing boards and pieces of any size and color.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I am not sure whether the license allows us to host it here as a general piece set.
I was hesitant to grab Alfaerie icons, though, as the piece set Jocly uses is really CBurnett.
Why Jocly uses but your /cgi-bin/fen2.php cannot? Read my earlier comments to page, I said that author of most of images there, Couch Tomato aka Daniel Lee agrees with using them here. Some of images are even my own and I also agree.
Homo Scacco. Several games with pieces of same type and a royal amongst them. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Heavenly Queen Chess. Queen’s motion is changed slightly but enough to make it unique. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Can you review this please?

Ultima Problem #3. The 3rd in a series of Ultima puzzles.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Chameleon moves not e5+ but f7#, else King just moves e7 and cannot be taken like Pinching Pawn.
Also if Immobilizer moves g4/5, LongLeaper can move d6#.
Hybrids. Standard pieces combine and split. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Suddenly seen 18.5 years after (so cool that I’ve first seen Russian language version via random game page!) and I have an idea. There’s stated that same pieces can merge, what if they can be upgraded this way? Like Knight to Nightrider, Rook/Bishop to ranger+hopper hybrids, Guard to Torch (slip Queen) or Lion (area mover) ah he can’t.
Featured Chess Variants. Chess Variants Featured in our Page Headers.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This leaves Ultima, which has now been seconded, as the most eligible game with a nomination and a second. So, I will feature Ultima for January, 2024.
If it’s featured, it should have a banner image:
Ultima. Game where each type of piece has a different capturing ability. Also called Baroque. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]And interactive diagram is still narrowed! What I mean. iPhone SE. https://www.chessvariants.com/membergraphics/who/CryInto/bugultima.png
Jocly. An html-based web platform for playing 2-player abstract stategy games.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]No, because the letters are used in a FEN.
Hah;) are non-ASCII suitable? I say as guy who overwrites pieces with them)
Yes I know about it since I've read Couch Tomato's useful blog post in Lichess where these colored pieces are shown on board.
Jocly. An html-based web platform for playing 2-player abstract stategy games.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Have you included a Centaur (NK)?
You can easily fulfill the unused Y by Yaguar (Jaguar), name of Centaur in Chak. I agree with that name and notation because it’s difficult to find another candidate for it.
Fairyranga. Game based on Chaturanga & Makruk with Southeastern, Mongolian and even Russian elements. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Noted and edited.
This is ready to be published (?).
Featured Chess Variants. Chess Variants Featured in our Page Headers.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]The pages for Kyoto Shogi and Paco Shako have no information on online play or any record of past games.
Kyoto Shogi has recorded history of play at least here.
• Duck Chess doesn't have a recorded history of play.
AFAIK it’s playable on not only pychess.org with not big audience, but also on chess.com with very large community. There’re many games played already.
I also second Kyoto Shogi. It's a unique game with mechanics not seen very often in Chess variants.
I also second it. Btw it’s playable on lishogi.org since this June.
UPD: I second Grant Acedrex and Ultima as well as Kyoto. How many games can I second?
Modern Republican Chess. Private Game with side(s) whose pieces have diagonal counterpart. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Since this comment is for a page that has not been published yet, you must be signed in to read it.
Mathematichess. A chess variant specially designed for mathematicians. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Covered but not everything. I found typo in the start (arround empty squares), different themes in diagrams (please choose: cburnett or alfaerie) and, finally, you forgot one King:
The c5 territory
- White = (10x2) + (3x2) + 10 = 36 points
- Black = (3x2) +(3x2) + 3 + 10 =
1525 points- White wins = 36 +
1525 =5161 points. Also there are 3 black bishops, isn’t their summary value tripled? In this case, it’d be 45 and therefore White doesn’t win this space but wins the game. (And so on)
Idk if it’s all. I hope one day it’ll be approved.
Seikaku Ni Wanai Shogi. Shogi with no strong pieces, but very strong promotions. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This is quite ready for your first review. Is this normal, and what is to be fixed in your opinion?
[N?B] is Unicorn from Grande Acedrex, [N?R] is Cavalier mentioned in Griffon’s piececlopedia page.
Rocket Chess. Space-themed fairy chess variant on neoteric board: piece’s movement depends on type of cell where it stands. (Cells: 248) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]This is maybe an edgy request, but…
Can you please add this to themed variants?
Game Courier Logs. View the logs of games played on Game Courier.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Thx for answer)
{BUG} Hey why I move in first game I should move in and in other my games all pieces are trasparent???
Really an idea to link my name for it to Rosetta probe of European Cosmic Agency!
I mean q(FD), so it’ll be a Knight in center of each circle, as well as Astra is in center of qN! Puzzle isn’t solved!;);)
One left note: If you’ll make Kirin-based Rose, what piece can be in the center of all its eight circles? And which piece is in center of second piece’s Rose?)
Diagram Editor with scalable graphics. An easy-to-use tool for drawing boards and pieces of any size and color.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Can you add Cburnett theme mentioned above? I've asked the guy who drawn most of these images (BTW he's Dan Lee aka CouchTomato87, who has published his variants here), and he permitted. Other are or FIDE Chess pieces, which are under CC-BY-SA 3.0 (original C.M.L.Burnett pieces), or images modified by me. Is it enough for you?

Cavalry Queen Chess. Queen rides a horse and therefore it passively moves as Knight (but captures as usual). (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Regenerative (Oceanic) Chess.

Mathematichess. A chess variant specially designed for mathematicians. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]As for myself, I’m not even sure this is a chess variant. Although it uses Chess equipment, it seems to be a very different sort of game than chess.
Though it’s rather good (at least at first glance). Idea is very interesting.

Thanks for publishing)
Re-Ghost Chess. The last captured piece turns into leaping transparent ghost and isn’t able to capture but still can check. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Thanks for noting, it’s fixed.
Thunderstruck Server Chess. {This game seems broken…}. (10x8, Cells: 80) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Your description beyond that is a bit muddy; you describe it as leaping to every other space, so it'd be more like [F?DD][W?AA].
To every second space (read more attentively). But, well, it's possible to remake its name.

Among them Ferzpawn and Silver are modified by me, Warrior, Khon and Magician are created by me.
It is possible to add another one graphics set? It is also quite popular (at least it’s used in Musketeer Board Painter).

Bruh what’s it?!! I haven’t written anything.
OK fixed. About icons: I’ve just said in Setup section how pieces not common to chess variants are represented on image.

Please review also in next 72 hours. I will be glad)
I have a suggestion for you now (and many of them later))). This is Astra (aka Astral leaper or Altleaper). It's already used in unknown (and really written in 20 minutes when each of them could be the last) GC preset of my own CwDA, and in one of my most favourite (non-square) inventions - Rocket Chess!
However, its shining debut is still not happened...
...and it's probably the most or one of the most successful example of amphiby synergy...
Flipping Xiangqi. Hybrid of Xiangqi & Kyoto Shogi – flip the pieces after each turn. (7x7, Cells: 49) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I forgot to post yesterday's Piece of the Day, so...
132. Virtuoso. I initially proposed Virtuoso as an alternate name for an Amazonrider, but then I realized that the Virtuoso needed to be something truly broad. So, it's more than just a Queen plus Nightrider; it's basically a Queen plus Buffalorider. (QNNCCZZ)
150. Virtuoso. Initially I started using this name as an alternate for the Amazonrider. Then I settled on Centauride, and found a need to expand the name, so I compounded not just the Queen and Nightrider but also the Camelrider and Zebrarider. (QNNCCZZ)
...I also like music... but bruh)

If you turn auto-notifier’s personID into blacklist, all is brilliant.
I’ve uploaded to this directory (/membergraphics/who/CryInto) plenty of nearby 30px wide images of my joyful pieces. They’re very small and can be used on custom grid in Game Courier, or as small pics on pages (instead of big ones from nursery room;)). This set is called joyful-small (note for editors) and includes pieces for Crazy 38’s (and consequently Chess) and Rocket Chess.
Rocket Chess. Space-themed fairy chess variant on neoteric board: piece’s movement depends on type of cell where it stands. (Cells: 248) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Thanks a lot for publishing this game!
But if you want to delete a preset, I can do that after making sure it is not being used in any game logs.

OK, I understand. I won’t say my age but can tell that I’m also kinda free. Yes, two months are quite normal — my Fluidity page waits almost 1.5 years (though it was once remade in-between).
