Queens, amazons, knights… all overrated. We all bow to the mighty pawn. In the land of fairy chess (chess variants) the pawn might be even better.

What if Chess Pawns had DLC? (Fairy Chess Pieces)
In my opinion the most interesting one is the advanced pawn.Historically it was common for pawns to be promoted to the piece they had behind, a proof of this is Tamerlane chess.What I had never seen is the pawn behaving like a mini-[piece they have behind], and it looks extremely interesting.
Pawns aren't pieces? Huh??
what if chess sucked? oh, wait. chess DOES suck

Pregnancy chess: every 9 moves, the queen can spawn a new pawn in front of her, but the 9 move counter since the last birth only starts if she is adjacent to the king, and she can only spawn a new pawn in front of her if there is an empty space right in front of her, otherwise she has a miscarriage. Also, she can't move on the move she's due to give birth or attack for 3 before it, and she can only cancel the pregnancy if she is adjacent to a bishop to perform the abortion.
The last pawn varient be like: Legalize Nuclear Pawns
Who the heck is saying that Pawns aren't Chess pieces? The definition of a Chess piece is something you move across a Chess board when playing a game of Chess, so Pawns are, by definition, Chess pieces, as you move them across a Chess board when playing a game of Chess.
"List of chess variants" is a Wikipedia list article. Previously, I have jokingly urged people not to read it in its entirety, as I once read it in its entirety and it ended up sucking up a huge amount of my time. But I always thought that at least I managed to visit every corner of the world of chess variants, meaning that nothing could surprise me anymore.
Today, I learned about two fairy chess pieces known as the berserker pawn and the cruise pawn.
I was wrong.
