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!

That's actually a feature (at least, very similar) I wanted to give the Barbell for my Clue variant. I felt like the XBetza would've been prohibitively complex — not that XBetza has any bearing on a game with up to eight players, of course, but I'd want to have the piece available to other games.

BTW, in case anyone cares enough to wonder, I decided on the Axe for the eighth weapon in Clue Chess.
