RULES:
Layout a 10 by 8 board. On the white side, arrange the second row with pawns, then the first row goes: Rook, knight, archbishop, bishop, queen, king, bishop, chancellor, knight, rook. Mirror this arrangement with the black pieces. Take note that the kings are on their matching color instead of the queens. There are 2 new pieces: the archbishop and the chancellor. The archbishop combines the powers of a bishop and a knight allowing it to move diagonally in a straight line or jump over pieces in an L shape. You may not perform both the L move and diagonal in a single move, it is one or the other. The chancellor combines the powers of a rook and a knight allowing it to move laterally in a straight line or jump over pieces in an L shape, but not combine the two in a single move.
Castling is still allowed with the King moving 3 spaces towards the rook instead of 2. A pawn can promote to the archbishop or chancellor. The first player to checkmate their opponent, wins.
why play capablanca when there's gothic
one of the least imaginative variants ever covered on the channel
How about Capanegra Chess?
Custom variant: Apocalyptic State Chess-the barrier of pawns is outright removed from the board-if a rook dies, you have to place a chill pawn or mad pawn in that space, killing the piece that took the rook if you place the latter, but moving the piece away from the original position of the rook if it's the former-both types of pawns may be promoted-if there is a piece in front of the chill pawn when said chill pawn is placed, the piece that took the rook gets taken.-chill pawns can't capture-mad pawns HAVE to capture
Can the Knight+Rook castle
The archbishop and chancellor are already in musketeer chess
knook
FUN fact: the archbishop Is technically called the princess
*Gothic chess
Because the Queen is worth one point more than the pieces that make it (Rook and bishop) it seems the archbishop would be 7 points of material and the chancellor would be 9
The archbishop is like the janus in janus chess
KNOOK
Capybara Chess, how to play.
Both sides get a Capybara.

in a 10 by 8 board, we would also require 2 extra pawns for both sides.
