Colorful Osmosis Chess
Colorful Osmosis Chess uses four basic piece types (plus Kings and Pawns. Two basic pieces are colorbound and two are colorswiching. Of the colorbound pieces, on is a slider and the other is a leaper; likewise for the colorswiching pieces. Basic pieces can create compond pieces by capturing enemy basic pieces, in some games this process is called absorbtion, here I use the synonym osmosis.

From left to right on the first rank are White's Harvester, Knight, Camel, Bishop, King, Camel, Bishop, Knight, and Harvester. On the second rank are nine Pawns, Black's army is placed rotationally symmeric on the eighth and ninth ranks. Because of the limitations of the Diagram Designer, the Harvestman is represented as the Rook icon but it has a different move.
