    If we are modding chess.

    Make board 10x10 add two pawns, and add a prince and princess.

    Cross between king/knight/pawn and queen/pawn.

    Prince moves like knight but only into an unoccupied square, takes like a king, but only moves forward like a pawn, can move back one square when taking.

    Princess moves like a queen but only forward, like a pawn.

      Princess moves like a queen but only forward, like a pawn.

      So…forward or diagonal but not sideways or backward? Interesting, does she take a crown at the end?

        I think side ways is OK. No backwards.

        Haven’t thought it through too much, promotion would have to be play tested.

          I like this idea, think if we can already have the king switch with the rook, maybe a similar mechanic with the princess sort of summoning the queen to blast everyone or vice versa
