I was just wondering if any one knows how to modify a chess game to make new pieces, board. or would it be easier to try to make one from the ground up. I'm not to good with programming code. so if there is a easy way then of doing this would be great.


what I'm trying to do is make my own chess variant. mainly by added a few new pieces and maybe making the board big to maybe 9x9 or 10x10.


I have played a lot of variation of chess and want to make my own. if any one can at least point me in the right path would be great appreciated. well thanks for your time and any help you can give me.

Here are some interesting chess variants:

#1. When u capture pieces, they are not removed from the board, but relocated to any vacant square of the player's choice (bishops on the same color as originally captured on).

 

#2. A player's move consists of 1 move of one of his pieces, AND 1 move of one of his opponent's pieces.

 

#3. The game begins with an empty board, and players take turns placing, or moving pieces already on the board.

#4. As you move a piece, it is converted into the next more powerful piece: P-N/B-R-Q.

#5. The board starts in the upside down position, white pieces on black's squares and vice versa, all pawns 1 square away from promoting.
