I personally would be interested in finding out if there is room for variants like apothecary chess which use weird pieces like the griffin, aanca or zebra (which is weird enough on a 10x10 board). I think there is.
Chess has some arbitrary aspects to it like en passant and castling, but they complete the game.
One of the cristicisms brought by Fergus to my variants was that they don't use "classic" fairy pieces like the marshall and archbishop, and the regular knight (by indicating gross chess as an better alternative to my apothecary). My point here was to enhance chess by adding new pieces and expanding the board. If I failed please state that, I could stop!
