RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess, except for these changes. Layout two boards next to each other, in the same orientation, but only setup the pieces on 1 of them. After a piece completes a move, it is transferred to the same relative space on the other board. This transfer is not optional and must be performed after every move. In order for pieces to move, the piece’s move must be legal on the board it starts the turn on AND the space it is transferred to on the other board must be vacant. Therefore, capturing a piece is only available on the board the piece starts the turn on. After capture, the capturing piece transfers to the other board the same way a non-capture move would. The king may not perform a move if its transfer to the other board would put the king in check. Castling if performed as normal with both the king and rook transferring boards at the end of the turn. En Passant is allowed like normal. An alternative way to play, is to have the black pieces start the game on the other board. You can also choose to allow a null moves so that instead of moving a piece on the board it starts the turn on it may instead stay in its current position and transfer to the other board. However, a king may not escape check with a null move. Decide beforehand if this rule will be used. The first player to checkmate their opponent, wins.

    The name of the variant and the differing sizes made me think originally that this was some kind of bizarre thing where pieces moving onto the second board would be "giant" (taking up four squares). Upon consideration, I have no idea how that could be made to work in practice. I think you'd have to give the giant pieces some kind of HP system or something. It would be extremely weird.

    Well if you keep only the size then a piece could capture it by taking one of its four spaces and it can capture up to 4 pieces if it would take out multiple with its move. Effectively a chess glass cannon.

    Among the final fantasy series, there's a game called final fantasy tactics in which they players and the enemy units move around a landscape similar to a chess board. It's got topography and budding and stuff, but basically a checkerboard pattern. All of the units have an HP system, so rather than simply capturing as in chess, thy do battle. Basically a JRPG meets chess.

    How about Mario Chess? Whenever a piece captures, it must continue moving to the next square in that direction. Knights make a second full knight move in the exact same direction when capturing. If a piece would be captured by the additional move, it is, and the capturing piece must move in that direction again. Kings cannot be captured, and are only in check if attacked directly. Kings may capture a piece that's on a square another enemy piece is attacking, but kings may only capture if the square the king stops on is safe. If one of your own pieces is on the square directly behind a piece you capture (or the square your knight would land after its extra move), you may still capture that piece, but then you're blocked from performing the additional move.

    That's as brilliant as putting Xianqi cannons in Chess, as well as Grasshopper Chess However, what would happen if the extra move would put the capturing piece outside the board? Would it also kill the piece? Or would it be simply ignored(capturing move as usual)? Or would it be disallowed, thus buffing outside squares by making them 'safe'?

    @@revimfadli4666 Thinking about this a little more, the Mario theme would dictate that pieces can move off the board, but they die when they do so. Kings can't perform any move or capture that would put them off the board. So, a king can't capture any piece on the edge of the board if that king is not on the same edge. And, a king can never capture any piece in a corner. It would lead to some interesting checkmates. At the end of the day, it needs to be balanced, but I suspect this would work.

    I've actually tried to make this chess variation when I was in elementary. The other kids didn't really like it. It has the same exact rules but the kids and adults thought they are too complicated. I just searched it now and I was surprised it was from 1950s. That means I as a kid thought the same exact variation without knowledge about it. I didn't even know the name so I can't really tell if it was already made. I still have a lot of board game ideas but don't know if they already existed.

    Phaseshifted Chess/Active Camouflage Chess/Battleship Chess: 3 boards, 2 players, each player starts on one board, which is hidden from their opponent. Each player's first turn is free, but each move after must be prefaced with one player asking whether their opponent has a piece present on that square. If their opponent answers "yes", then the player making the move must place that piece on the middle board. Revealed pieces must remain on the board for 3 turns before returning to their home board. The player returning a piece to concealment must return that piece to their board before making any move. All unit movements are to be treated as normal aside from this concealment mechanic. En passant is allowed, and reveals the capturing piece if said piece attacked from concealment. Castling also reveals your king and that rook. Putting a king in check permanently reveals the attacking piece, but the king may return to concealment unless the king is a player's only remaining back row piece. First player to checkmate their opponent wins.

    I like playing this one with a twist; I give the knights nearest to the other board hats and call them Hatters, which makes them exempt from mandatory board transfer and allows them to travel onto the other board as though it were an extension of the main one. They are still allowed to transfer as normal if they choose. Any piece that takes the Hatter gains its hat and ability. The King cannot become a Hatter. If the Hatter is killed by a King or another Hatter, its hat is removed from the game entirely, but can be retrieved by a pawn upon promotion. Pawns cannot promote to Hatters if your Hatter is still on the board.

    I should clarify, non-knight pieces who capture a Hatter don't become Knights, instead retaining their normal chess movement. The Hat just allows for transfer exemption and bridging the two boards

    I'm assuming from earlier in the video (where he said you can not move to a space that is occupied by an allied piece) that you can not capture this way, but I am not sure and this variant seems like something that would be more for fun than serious, so therefore you can just mix the rules around to your liking with a friend.
