Muller, standard chess also introduces pieces from outside, namely by
promotion. In Japanese Chess, dropping pieces is an essential aspect. In
Burmese Chess (Sittuyin) pieces are introduced by a similar way of
pawn relocation as I employ. The idea to introduce pieces from
outside is not alien to chess. One of the most popular chess variants
among club players is Bughouse, which
uses wild piece drops.
