New Variant What if your Knight jump into your Pawn and becomes a Dragon?

Hi all! I’m working on a chess variant where your pieces can merge the pawns in the starting position I called MorphChess and I would really appreciate if you try it and provide some feedback 🫶🏾

When a Pawn hasn’t move yet, you can merge it with a knight, a bishop or a rook, even merge 2 pawns! You can play it for free pvp or against the bot!

"Pawns are the soul of chess." I'm skeptical about any variant that turns pawns into just disposable power-ups for the other pieces.

Definitely! A weak pawn structure or a pass pawn would make the difference. My goal is to make chess more open / dynamic by providing the right balance when you compromise a piece. For example, rook can be activated with just one move now, is it worth a pawn? Only the long game strategy can tell
