This is a variation on Chess with a key extra
rule which allows the user to capture their own pieces and swap
the pieces in doing so. This has a profound impact on the game and
makes the game much more dynamic. The resulting play style has something
of the character of Shogi (Japanese Chess), which is a very lively
tactical game. The queen and other pieces become more powerful as
they can be used to "teleport" pieces across the board.
For example a queen on the seventh rank can swap with a pawn on
the second rank, threatening a pawn promotion! Also damage to the
pawns around the king can be repaired! This is a strong and surprising
game.
