Pandemonium (Surajang修羅場)
It is a chess variant that mixes marshal and cardinal of Capablanca chess, and Crazyhouse rules. However, I adjusted the position of the piece and the size of the board so that it feels close to the fide chess, and some of the rules of Crazyhouse were refined.

Rules
<Castling (築城)>
1. Castling is possible if Jade and Rook are at the starting point and there is no piece between them.
2. When castles, the Jade moves 3 squares in the direction of the Rook, and The Rook in that direction is placed right next to the opposite side of the Jade. for example, if Jade of e1 and Rook of a1 are castle, Jade is at b1 and Rook is at c1. If Jade of e1 and Rook of j1 are castle, Jade is at h1 and Rook is at g1.
3. However while Jade is being attacked, castling is not possible, and if at least one of the 3 spaces Jade moves is exposed to an opponent's attack, you cannot cast in that direction.
4. Castling in the direction of Marshal are called Marshalside castling, and castling in the direction of Queen are called Queenside castling.
(Marshalside castling : 帥向築城 , Queenside castling : 奔向築城)
<En passant (通過)>
When an enemy Pawn moves 2 or 3 squares to evade a friendly Pawn's attack point, that friendly Pawn may capture that enemy Pawn on your next turn. this is called En passant. when capturing an enemy pawn as en passant, it only goes 1 squares as when capturing other pieces.
<Promotion (昇進)>
1. Pieces that reach the last(10th) rank may be promoted. but Pawn that reach the last rank must be promoted. pieces that are not promoted on the last rank may be promoted again after moving.
2. When a promoted piece is captured, its promotion disappears.
3. A piece that has been promoted cannot be returned to before promotion.
4. Pieces can be promoted even when leaving the enemy camp, but PIeces who have not been promoted from the enemy camp cannot be promoted until they reach the enemy camp again.
<Drop (投入)>
1. You can drop a piece you captured on any empty square.
- Only one piece may be dropped on the board per turn, and this must be done instead of moving a piece on the board.
2. The piece cannot be promoted as soon as it is dropped to the last rank. A dropped piece must move after it is dropped so that you can choose whether to promote it or not.
3. Pawns cannot be dropped on the first(1st) rank and last(10th) rank.
4. You can check by dropping a Pawn, but you cannot checkmate by dropping a Pawn. (It is possible to check by dropping a Pawn and checkmate on your next turn. This is because it is not a checkmate as a dropped Pawn.)
5. Even if a Rook or Jade moves or drops, castling is possible as long as they are in the correct position. Likewise, even if the Pawn is dropped or moved, it can move up to 3 squares on the second rank, 2 squares on the third rank.
6. Dropped Pawn can capture enemy Pawn as En passant on your next turn.
<Stalemate (膠着状態)>
Stalemated player loses.
<Fourfold repetition (千日手)>
If the same state occurs 4 times, it is a draw. that is, if the position of the pieces, the type and number of pieces caught, and the turn are exactly the same four times, the Fourfold repetition is established and the match becomes a draw. Even if it does not appear in a row, if the same state occurs 4 times in a match, fourfold repetition is established and the match becomes a draw. but if you make the same state 4 times with only check, you lose. however, a Fourfold repetition that includes a check in the repetition procedure is not a foul because it is not checked consecutively.
- If a draw is made due to fourfold repetition, the match is played again by swapping White and Black.
White moves first, and Black moves next.
There is no passing a turn.
