one can start moving as a Rook, but when running into the first friendly piece change direction just before it, to continue sliding like a Bishop. 'Bifurcators' are sliders whose moves are 'deflected' by the presence of other pieces. Knight-relay Chess has pieces that acquire extra moves when 'seen' by a friendly Knight Chameleons acuire the moves of a piece that sees them, and can use them to capture that piece. (Implying you cannot capture an enemy Lion that is protected with it, unless it is through hit and run.) (So it can do hit-and-run, and double captures, and rifle captures on adjacent squares.) And when it captures another Lion it becomes absolutely royal for one turn. (Which effectively prevents it is traded out of the game early.) That idea of a 'contageous' piece was taken from Maka Dai Dai Shogi, btw.Īnother pretty weird piece, which I did not invent, but stole from Chu Shogi to feature it in my own variant Mighty-Lion Chess: it moves as a King, but twice per turn, and doesn't have to stop after a capture. But that is not yet the strangest property: every piece other than a King that captures it, will instantly promote to a Werewolf. And when it jumpsover an enemy piece that way it can (but doesn't have to) remove it in the process (like a Checker capture), even when it also captures something on its target square (so it is capable of double capture). It slides like a Queen, but maximally upto 3 squares, but it can jump to the second square (but not the third) directly, even if the first square in that direction is occupied. The weirdest piece I invented for one of my own Chess variants is the 'Werewolf' of Werewolf Chess.
