The draw-by-repetition rule does a good job of keeping players from sliding a tile back and forth repeatedly, but the tiles definitely introduce some weird en passant and castling edge cases.

Okay! So had 3am insanity and came up with a new chess variant: SUPERPOSITION CHESS.
On you're turn, you pick a piece and it'll move to every square possible in a superposition of sorts. When a piece gets moved all its prior superposition's get eliminated. A piece is removed from the board if taken in the classic sense or something makes it impossible for the piece to be there. taking with a pawn destroys all superposition since a pawn can only take if there is a piece there that can be taken (considering changing this rule...). To stop pawns being overpowered, pawns cannot take a piece if they (and the pawns on the files next to them) are on their starting rank.
after a quick game against myself, the mode is surprisingly fun and not insanely broken. You don't get overwhelmed by choices as you no longer care about where to move a piece, only which piece to move. Need better visual cues to help with board readability though also need to tighten the writing of the rules but its 3am.
example game below cut: next move highlighted in red. in a real game each piece would be labeled as to avoid confusion between pieces:
speaking of chess variants, i always thought this would be fun:
at the beginning of the game, each player secretly writes down the name of a piece (eg. e-pawn, light squared bishop, queen). this can be any piece other than the king. this piece is a TRAITOR on the opponentās team. once each player has made at least 10 moves, either player may at any point choose to skip their move and instead reveal what they wrote and take control of the chosen piece of the opponentās color. it acts exactly as though it were the same piece of their color. if the traitor can āseeā the opponentās king, it is in check as soon as the player reveals the traitorās identity.
For the Wiccan community.
As someone with a deep appreciation for Wicca, and at the request of my friends who walk this spiritual path, I have created a variant of chess that I hope will become part of this culture.Ā Witch's ChessĀ is more than just a board game. It is an attempt to unite the ancient magic of the Moon, the Elements, and ritual awareness with one of humanity's oldest intellectual games.
The name was chosen with respect for those who follow this path and is intended to convey the spirit of the game, not to claim the role of spiritual guidance. The game is created with respect for the tradition and pursues no commercial goals.
I believe that Wicca is not only a tradition but also a living space for creativity, play, and interaction with the forces of nature. That is why every move here is filled with meaning: the phases of the Moon govern the rhythm of the game, the Elements endow the pieces with unique properties, and the Full Moon becomes a moment of choice and sacrifice.
I hope this game will attract to Wicca those who seek something more than mere entertainment ā those who feel magic in every movement and are ready to see the sacred in everyday things. MayĀ Witch's ChessĀ become for you not just a game, but another tool for exploring yourself, balance, and the elemental world around us.

Discord placed onions along their twelfth rank, Reddit planted pea shooters along the L-file aimed directly at Tumblr's pieces because "we cant loose against tumblr for fucks sake", and BlueSky took the L with their horsey.
Your move, Tumblr.
Revolutionary Chess: the king and queen are the only black pieces. Every other piece is white, and they are hunting them down to overthrow the monarchy and establish a constitutional republic. Maybe to make it slightly more fair there are a couple of loyalist pawns who stick by the old guard. Or the knights, sworn members of the kingsguard, whereas the pawns are just conscripts who owe the tyrant no loyalty. A knight is less likely to rise up against the crown than a peasant soldier or the clergy (I could very well see one of the bishops declaring himself king, with a rook as his advisor/prime minister)
What would you fall this? Civil war chess? Republican chess? Peopleās chess?
