Is something missing? Does chess need:
"The Chimp" - jumps knight-like forwards, backwards or sideways two squares.
"The Spoon" - range of one square, no diagonal movement.
"The Uncle" - one square, any direction including diagonals.
etc.
(I know the answer is "no", but well done to whoever posts it first.)
I played a version of four player chess where there was a piece called 'the prince' who could (by virute of doing over another king or similar) be crowned to become super powerful. I only played it once, but it was kinda cool (certainly made you think!)
I don't think chess needs an extra piece though.
Edit: Some people have adapted a new piece as part of their game it seems... 'The Engine'
😛

You'd "bury" your mole & say which direction he's digging; he'd dig one square per turn (in addition to normal moves) until he hits the edge of the board, at which point he carries on digging off the board.
And what moves would the mole make?
You could have a peice called the d#umb@ss. It would move around the board as randomply determined by a pair of dice, and couldn't capture. But all peices one square in any direction would be affected by it's stupidity and have their movement restricted for a set amount of time. It would be shaped like a drooling face.
