Making a new chess variation.

Hello. I just tought about a new chess variation, of my own tought, but I don't know how to develop it and how to make my variation popular.
It should be perfect for those who want to breakt their head, and I don't think computer will be to analyse it.

Eveything is played on a hexagonal board whit hexagonals space,
it should ressemble this but bigger

Hmm. With the hexagons, from any single hexagon, there are at most 6 adjacent hexagons to move to. With traditional chess, there are 9 adjacent squares. Using the hexagons seems to limit range of motion compared to normal chess.

How would a rook move compared to a bishop?

I don't really know, It just increase the range of the pieces without giving really something new.
In my heads, this game will have a least 15 differants pieces.
Three types of pawn, knight, boshop, vizir, rook, witch, vampire, pirate, wolf, ghost, héro, magician, queens and king. Each will have their identity and the game will be unique, but how to make popular.

If it in hexagone, it travel by the adjacent square, while the bishop never quit his color, so his move will be like a knight.
In the image, the rook would have control of a1- f1, b1 -l l4 and c1- c9
While the bishop would control f2- e3- d4- c5- b6 -g3 -h4- i5- k-6, he also protect the two knigts

I'm afraid to ask how the Knight moves in this game. 😲

knight in h 3 can move to e1 e2 f4 g4 i5 and k5.

Are you sure those are the right squares?

If they are, I can safely promise you that the old joke, "how does the horsey move?" will become a seriously hard question to answer in this game.

I think you'd better use a normal chess board, but bigger. It will be a very complicated game with the board you use now

Yes I think I will just use a normal chess board, but instead of being 8 per 8 it will be 10 per 10.

For the pieces. I got idea.
I just wonder if they are correct.

What are those skills? (like thes: Reincarnation, Malediction, Death, Return, Washing wind, Haunt, Apparition, Anti-prise en Passant.)

their is small differance, each 17 turns, every light pieces gain 1 mp then 17 turn after, each dark piece gain 1 mp.
Mp are use with certain skill, the prise en passant can't be used if the peices don't have enough mp. I will explain the skills soon.

This sort of game will never be popular. The players would be forced to research the rules every time they make a move.

So, wath should I do to make something...

Have a go at inventing a new fairy chess piece.

Then compose a problem with said piece come back here and post it.
