I really don't mean to discourage your get-rich-quick scheme, you did the video surprisingly well. but maybe you should learn chess first, and THEN try making up a new variant?
I mean, at 900-1000 you have absolutely no idea what you're trying to improve on. and it shows.

What do you think is wrong with the game?
Im a master backsmith not a master swordsman.
If I was Lord Sugar, I would be ripping your hand off looking to invest.
Edit: Every stoned uni student will be playing this next year, Mighty Boosh meets Chess.

Also it seems convoluted. Another beauty of chess is in its simplicity.

Hi Brother Edwin,
I like your idea (especially the "thrones" part) and wish you the best of luck with it. I have my doubts though about the gameplay, but it is hard to have an opinion about it without having played it first.
There are loads of chess-variations out there, but this one seems the hardest to play of them all and I'm afraid that's why this will never be popular.
