River chess

I have a variant idea

Normal chess, but the squares a5, b5, c5, d5, f5, g5, h5, a4, b4, c4, df, f4, g4, and h4 are a river, meaning no piece can be on them, but a knight can jump over it. the e row is a brige, helping pieces to get across. to win, you must time out or checkmate.

Is this stratego 

noooo

or is it

sounds like chinese chess

chinese chess is WAY different

chinese chess has a river tho...

Or does it

Should we play a practice game

wot

i wish i could make a variant that has custom pieces but

1. I can't find a diagram to put it on

2. I might make a piece that is exactly like a existing piece

NOT 4 PLAYER DUMMY

what

Yesh?

it can jump over...

maybe meaning it can jump double.

yes

the most op piece

IN THE VARIANT
