Radioactive Queen Chess
This variant can clearly explain the abolies of each piece in FIDE, and it's based on FIDE. So it can open new frontiers of chess & its variants.
Setup
Karma strikes black back! White hasn't the queen and light pieces, but on the first move white places unique piece (called Sky Brilliant, Karmium General, Radioactive Queen, Cyberpiece, Superpiece, etc.) on free back rank's square. Black is the first player to move his pieces.
Pieces
All pieces are as in FIDE except for…
Radioactive Queen
She can seem like Amazon (Terror, Maharaja, Khelgi, etc.) but it's much stronger. If Queen is heavy piece, Sky Brilliant is superheavy piece which can:
- as Knight: move & be placed;
- as Bishop: move (as Queen does) & be placed;
- as Queen: move (incl. Pawn, Bishop, Rook, King moves) & be placed;
- as Pawn: move (as Queen does) & take black pawns who moved two spaces by en passant;
- as Rook: move (as Queen does) & allow King's castling to it;
- as King: move (as Queen does), castle to any from Rooks & be one of the opponent's targets.
