First, my apologies to Gary, for misrepresenting his game: I'd remembered his pillars as immobile, when actually they are Medusae, and immobilizers. Thank you, Abdul-Rahman, for a better example. [And I think everyone here would think the vast majority of chessplayers are too narrow-minded.] Doug, you might look at Separate Realms Chess; it's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but it's an excellent idea with elements of what you're asking about. Another game similar to what you're looking for is/was Dada, by Abdul-Rahman Sibahi. His entire army is colorbound, but half of each army is on white squares, the other half of each on black. We played a game, during which he discussed possibly changing it. Other than those two, I can't think of any.
