If You Could Add A New Piece To Chess, What Would It Be?

Sort:

it can be anything like a cold double knight or a dangerous variant piece.

LIKE ADD ANYTHING YOU WANT? LIKE ANYTHING!

How about Centaur 🙃 it can move 1-7 squares in any direction and can even perform en passant!

I would add a Bomb.

It cannot move. It cannot capture. It cannot be captured. The Bomb can do only two things:

1) It can just sit there and do nothing. This is called "Deterrence Mode".

2) It can choose to detonate, destroying the chess-board and wiping out everything on it. This is called "Armageddon Mode".

Detonating your Bomb loses the game automatically and counts the same as Resigning.

It's a form of Rage-Quitting, which might be more fun than just abandoning the game.

A tactical Nuke: it can just randomly obliterate any piece except the king after move 10 is played

very brilliant answers

Base game is fine, but an interesting variant would be to encode a light/dark square strength to each player at game start by replacing one bishop on each side with a ferz or alfil.

these ideas make me laugh

I would add an Archer, to be placed outside the rooks. These pieces can move like rooks and like bishops however, they can jump over one or two pieces to get to their destinations or targets.

Monkey with a long range poop slinging attack. Can throw poop 2 squares forward over other pieces.

dragon it could breath fire 1-5 squares killing everything moves like a queen

Radar rook. If you get in the radar produced by the rook, (2 places around it), the piece gets destroyed.
