The political activist. Cares only about one very small aspect of the game strategy and will not relent until it gets its way, or it gets too tired and has to go back to its sh1t life. No move within three squares of the political activist may violate its belief, but if the move is far enough away it doesnt mind. Moves like "the turd" and turns up where you least expect it.

The Chaos Butterfly (computer chess only): when activated, all other pieces on the board are randomly moved to new locations.

In the advanced version, they're also turned into checkers pieces.

"The Crow" - moves in straight lines, any number of squares. Cannot jump pieces. Takes as normal.

(C'mon, someone, set me up for the punchline...)

Ok then... How is the Crow different from the Queen?

And my own new piece which my brothers and I often play some late night smoky games with - she is called the Bitch and she is a Queen/Knight combo. Unstoppable piece. Very scary.

wizard: a pawn can be promoted to the wizard if it reaches the 8th or 1st rank. The wizard has the abilitis of the Queen and the Knight.

Bark!

How about the Kevin Bacon? When moved, it automatically creates a pawn chain of length 6. Plays mediocre country music while you wait for its next move.

True. You are a one-dimensional walrus.

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 would like to see a spy 😀 ie

I am playing as black and within the white men (enimy) I would have a black man who I could see as black (on my side) but he would look like a white man to the other guy

the other guy would have a honky within my black men but I would not know which man it is as to me he would look like one of my men

007 Bond 😛

The American Tourist - Eats like a king, moves like a cow. Starts the game white, but quickly turns red. Must run to the corner of the board every 5 minutes. Speaks loudly when spoken to.

What about if you could buy square's like in monopoly, so if the other guy lands on your square he has got to pay you or somthing like that 😛

You could send his queen to prison 😵

or you could have squares that have bombs or mines like in the game battle-ships

if his queen lands on the square KUBANG 😵😛

The Drunk - Moves like a knight, but not on purpose. Smacks the pawns around then passes out while strangling the bishop. Smells funny, like Mommy at Christmas. Comes with scale Colt 45.
