This feels much more complicated than regular chess, because you can take your own pieces. Really interesting.
Only issue is pictures of pieces was not clear enough for me.

Theme interpretation
In our chess variant, captured pieces form a hybrid with the capturing piece, sharing their powers.
For example, a pawn capturing a bishop creates a new piece that can move like a pawn and a bishop.
This is a really neat take on Chess that I'd never considered before. I love the concept and the game was stable. Would love to see this expanded with more detailed visuals and audio!
