this is one of my variant ideas, I am thinking how I can make everyone able to play it.

this is the initial position:


how the pieces move:

pawn (all pieces on the 3rd and 10th Ranks): they are much stronger than the ones on regular chess: they combine pawn (torpedo + sideways) and chess.com variants soldier, they can move 3 squares forward (move only) if they are standing on a square of their initial rank (it doesn’t have to be on their first move) (the initial rank of white pawns is the 3rd rank and the initial rank of black pawns is the 10th rank)

pawns are worth 1 point

King (pieces on g1 and g12): the same as regular chess, except by the fact that it can move and capture like a Knight or like a Alibaba on its first move

Horse (pieces on b1, k1, b12 and k12): combines Wazir and Xiangqi Horse, value: 3

Warrior (pieces on c1, j1, c12 and j12): makes a (3,1) Leap like a Camel or a (3,0) Leap, value: 3

Bishop (pieces on e1, h1, e12 and h12): the same as regular chess, value: 3

Rook (pieces on a1, l1, a12, l12): the same as regular chess, value: 5

Rhino: (pieces on d1 and d12): combines Bishop, Knight and Wazir, value: 8

Ship: (pieces on i1 and i12): combines Rook, Knight and Ferz/Fers, value: 9

Actress (pieces on f1 and f12): combines Queen, Xiangqi Horse and Moa, it also has the non-leaping Camel moves of the Falcon from Falcon Chess

Other rules:

Stalemate: Stalemated player loses

Bare piece rule: if a player has no pieces other than their king then that player loses the game

Castling: castling on this variant is different from regular chess: the king castles by actually switching places with a Rook, the conditions for casting are:

1: all squares between the king and the rook must not be controlled by your opponent

2: the rook must not be under attack

3: the rook must not have moved before

4: the king must not be under attack

5: the king must not have moved before

Pawn promotion: pawns promote on the 12th Rank (for white) and on the 1st Rank (for Black), pawns promote to: Rook, Bishop, Horse and Warrior
