Bishop Knight Morph Factor. Missing description (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

In 2001 David Howe posted Chess on a Longer Board with a few Pieces Added. His Changeling piece starts out as a Halfling Bishop and alternates its movement with a Halfling Rook. A Game Courier search for [Chess on a*] will turn up old games in this variant, plus some others.
I once considered replacing the Queens in standard chess with Rotators, moving R-N-B-R-N-B and so forth. WHITE: King b3, Rotator[Rook mode] g2, BLACK: King b1.
White to move and mate in three moves
1. Ra2=N Ka1 2.Nc3=B check Kb1 3.Be1=R mate.
