Ice Chess

It's Chess, but if a piece move then it keeps moving in that direction until it captures or can't move any further in that direction.
Knights will also move in that same movement trajectory (like a Knight-rider) but can't land on it's own pieces or into a wall so just moves until no more moves are valid.

what about pawns, does a passed pawn promote in one move?

That could have some serious problems when we try to play 1.e4 Do capturing pawns move like a bishop?

@noahfavelo you are back active too now? Am I back in 2021? it was a rly good year ngl we had old server and all these friends

I don't think so, as capturing will stop the move so it will effectively be the standard pawn. playing 1. exf7+ is weird though, I assume he's not including pawns anyways.

Hey! Good to see you again. Passed pawns would promote on the eighth rank like usual I figured :v

I imagined it that pawns would still only be able to capture on the immediate diagonal squares but you can play with any rule you want. I also imagined a version where knights would be the exception and not affected by the "ice" so increasing their value as they would be useful to help maneuver the other pieces

yes

By piece, do you mean piece in the 'technical' sense, which excludes pawns, or piece in the 'normal' sense, which includes pawns? I think this variant would work well and be interesting, but if pawns were included in the sliding rule, it might get out of hand and just be annoying to move any piece (normal sense) or try to develop any sort of structure. Also, if you meant it in the 'technical' sense, would pawns still be able to move one or two squares? If you meant it in the 'normal' sense, would pawns always move two squares, or just when they're on the 2nd rank?
