new rules for chess:
1. Friendly Fire ON
2. Landmines
3. If a player loses both of their bishops, the king can now legally divorce the queen without the papal go ahead. This puts the queen into FRENZY mode.
4. Once per game, a player may change one letter in a piece's name to change its role. The rook is now a book. The pawn is now a PAWG. The queen is now...well...I shan't say
5. Knights are now Horses
6. Horses are immune to landmines
7. Pawns can move back a space if they forgot something
8. A bishop can be combined with an adjacent rook to create the Wizard Tower piece
9. Each player now has 2 rows of pawns
